Does anyone know more about the persimmons below?
" Zima khurma =NB-02 Persimmon bred out of Nikitskaya Bordovaya, cold hardy and good producer of orange medium to large size fruit that ripens Late-season on a semi-vigorous tree. Has low spreading growth habit and is a beautiful specimen in the fall. Trees are very cold hardy tested down to minus -16.4 F for a long time. This cultivar was bred in Japan and brought to America by Jerry Lehman of Terre Haute, Indiana. Zone 5b to ZONE 8, tested to -16 F."
Previously asked about Rosseyanka on another thread but there are several people who mentioned -18F might be a stretch. It is not a true american persimmon.
" Rosseyanka Hybrid - Persimmon of exceptional quality and the large size which in near a 3 inch persimmon that ripens late and is very delicious we have been growing this selection for Approx. 20 year or so and We have never been disappointed with the crops of Luscious fruit that looks like Orange Orbs when the tree looses the leaves and the fruit remains on the trees. Reminiscent of Dio. Virginiana our native persimmons but Suitable for Zone 5 and very hardy down to about -18 degrees it is one of our favorites here our orchards."
" Claypool = H-120 -Named After James Claypool Very productive tree of medium height, Quality of fruit is far exceeding all average trees and produces excellent tasting fruit clear juicy pulp with no black specking on the pulp."
“I-94 American Persimmon is also known as Claypool 1-94 or Valeen Beauty. This Large fruit has clear flesh with excellent flavor. Claypool I-94 is large, early, and delicious. It differs from Early Golden by being slightly larger, more oblate and brighter orange color. Another interesting trait of Claypool I-94 is its very large and glossy leaves, making it a beautiful tree year-round.”
Any additional thoughts on those below?
100-46 (Lehman’s Delight)
"
Lehman’s Delight (100-46): From the Breeding work of Jerry Lehman of Terra Haute Indiana, one of his last introductions. Very large fruit, smooth flesh, clear pulp, and made to be loved. While not a large tree it is one of the heaviest producing persimmons. With very good flavor and smooth flesh, this fruit is all about taste."
100-45
“large fruit, similar to 100-46 (AKA Lehman’s Delight).”
100-43

Jess,
I found that Jerry Lehman new crosses were more superior in size and taste. This is my top 5 American persimmons: Jerry Lehman 100-42, 100-43, 100-46 (these three are siblings ), Prok, and the real large and strong persimmon fragrance Jerry Lehman WS8-10.

This thread is helpful
When i was a kid all of our persimmons had black flecks and occasionally a bit of tannins after several freezes.
"Fruit of most varieties contain black flecks in the pulp, which are not attractive in the processed product. ‘Prok,’ ‘Killen,’ ‘Claypool,’ ‘I-115,’ ‘Dollywood,’ ‘100-42,’ ‘100-43,’ ‘100-45,’ ‘Early Golden,’ ‘John Rick’ and ‘C-100’ are excellent varieties that contain few or no black specks. "

Someone is likely to bring up JT-02 aka Mikkusu , a very Hardy 50/50 Asian/American persimmon hybrid, again outside the scope of this topic like Roseyanka. These are likely ones i will grow on a strictly trial basis.
