Who's Growing Improved American Persimmons? Suggestions welcome!

These Compton types are not only rare but little is known about them. We know some are not 100% American based on the names “Nikita”, “Rosseayanka” we know those are kaki hybrids.
I dedicated a thread just to them and came up with very little information as a result. DEC - DONALD EUGENE COMPTON PERSIMMON Varities .

@OckooMicrofarm came up with these

DEC Improved Rosseayanka

DEC Valeene Queen

DEC Wannabe #2
DEC Wannabe #3

DEC Double-Ziptie

DEC Goliath

DEC King Crimson

DEC Sugar Hill (Don’s current personal favorite?)

DEC Nikita x Thor F4, F5, F6
DEC Nikita x Thor C5 (male and female flowering

And we know of these

DEC Wannabe

DEC Double-Ziptie

DEC Goliath

DEC King Crimson

DEC Money Maker – from the breeding work of Donald E. Compton (DEC) in southern Indiana. Excellent fruit.

We also know of these

DEC Don’s Earliest

Brace #1

Brace #2.

DEC Large Morris Burton cross

@Buzzferver @disc4tw hopefully you know of the others that exist and maybe we can preserve them before they dissappear.
