All About Hybrid Persimmons – NAFEX 2023 Virtual Conference, Session 6

Join persimmon grower Timothy Lane for a look at recent persimmon hybridizing efforts in Ukraine and the United States.

Many of these hybrid Diospyros kaki (Asian) x Diospyros virginiana (American) persimmon cultivars have bigger fruit, better flavor and increased cold hardiness than some of their popular predecessors, Rosseyanka and Nikita’s Gift. Timothy will share a detailed account of hybrid persimmon fruit, foliage, cold-hardiness and care.
