It may be like the date & fig market. Who knows Persimmon Newton’s May show up in a store near us soon lol! The tomato sized kakis feel pretty firm when they show up here. Should be really interesting when we see 5 types of persimmons at the farmers market! Posts like this are just the beginning and we all learn more everyday. @mkon_at first pointed out the mail flowers to me of lotus Lotus persimmon buds and from that I learned. I’ve been around persimmons most of my life and incorrectly assumed the lotus persimmon had smaller buds because they are smaller fruit and the cream colored bells were naturally female flowers but that is an amateurs mistake. I should have known from observing male American persimmons it’s the same thing and the male flowers look nearly identical. Well that was years ago and I was the only one I know in several states around here growing lotus persimmons as an experiment. Growing out seedlings takes lots of time.
