Izu Asian Persimmon is an excellent addition to the home orchard as the most dwarfing Asian Persimmon we’ve found, to about 10 feet or less with pruning, yet not lacking in vigor like many dwarf trees are. The Izu Persimmon ripens its fruit the earliest of any of the high quality Asian persimmons and is also non-astringent and of medium size. Also Izu is hardy to at least 0 degrees F. and will push the boundaries of how far north persimmons can be grown and ripened.

The Imoto Fuyu Asian Persimmon is a selection that came from the late Mike Imoto of Lindsay, California. Imoto Fuyu is very similar to Jiro persimmons except that the fruit is a little larger and ripens 7-10 days earlier, making it a good choice for cooler climates. It is generally thought that Imoto was discovered as a bud sport of the widely planted California Fuyu.

A hard to find Asian Persimmon, Chocolate Persimmon is a very unique Persimmon that when ripe has brown flesh that is very sweet. Chocolate Persimmon is a non-astringent variety with an acorn shape. Though many sources, including us in the past, have said that Chocolate was synonymous with Maru, the folks at Dave Wilson Nursery have enlightened us to the fact that they are two distinct varieties. Both have brown flesh, (only when pollinated in the case of Maru), so this is likely what has led to the confusion. Chocolate tends to have more male flowers than many vaieties, making it a great pollinator, but also produces an abundance of delicious, incredibly sweet fruits.
