I am very impressed with this new variety of persimmon. We are working on our fourth bag of them now. Finding them at Walmart. Sweet, non-astringent, firm, seedless, thickish peel. I have shared several and most everyone has enjoyed them.

Has anyone else had them? How do they compare to other asian varieties?

Those are likely to be Gas Treated Rojo Brillante to remove the asringency from Spain.

The bag says U.S. grown. Did a little bit of googling, and it looks like it’s a new variety just entering production in California.
