Persimmon question
G'day Gardeners,
I'm keen on persimmons so have planted 3 types in the backyard. One the the varieties - Fuyu - states it is a "type A". Since buying Fuyu I have noticed some nurseries selling Fuyu type B. Does anyone know the difference? This is its third season in the ground and still no flowers. The other two varieties (Nightingale and Tanaenashi) cant stop flowering and I have to de-bud the poor little saplings to save their lives otherwise they would put all their energy into making fruit and then kark-it. Will my Fuyu A flower? Thanks, Paul |

Persimmon question
G'day Paul
Not sure, but wondering if they need a pollinator, therefore Type A & B? Obviously not, on your Nightingal and Tanaenashi, but possibly on the Fuyu? I'm just guessing but maybe someone with more knowledge can help. I did plant a Persimmon some years ago for the autumn colours, it fruited like crazy but as we didn't like the fruit, a local SDA lady used to come and get it. Can't think which variety it was though. Bronwyn ;-) Paul wrote: G'day Gardeners, I'm keen on persimmons so have planted 3 types in the backyard.

Persimmon question
g'day paul,
not sure what they mean either mate in avacado's and some other fruits/nuts you can have 'A' & 'B' varieties usually indicates one may bud with male flowers early and the other may bud with female flowers early so if you have both you get an earlier crop but in the end both will fruit regardless of having the other there. in persimmons they have 'astringent' & 'non-astringent', not sure which way it is but one has to be ripe and soft to be eaten the other can be eaten just before it gets to that stage, well if i rmemeber correctly that is, it's something like that. snipped With peace and brightest of blessings, len -- "Be Content With What You Have And May You Find Serenity and Tranquillity In A World That You May Not Understand." http://www.users.bigpond.com/gardenlen1 |

Persimmon question
I'm in the U.S., and lived in the south for 4 years on a small farm. There
were about 4 wild persimmon trees on the property, which is what the majority were in that state. I was told by my neighbors that you had to wait until after the first frost to pick and eat them. I tried them both ways and didn't like them. A lot were full of worms so we let them fall on the ground and the possums ate them. Eventually I had the trees removed to make room for a small orchard. Maybe the oriental persimmons are better.
