Late to the party here - but with my knowledge and just by looking at the fruit itself and the trees, I can tell you with 100% certainty that this is definitely a Fuyu and a Giant Fuyu (the big one is not a Jiro). The nursery likely got the labeling wrong which is extremely common with persimmon varieties, and that's totally fine, it doesn't diminish the taste or tree in any way. I just want the audience to be informed that if they buy a Jiro (actual name Ichi Ki Kei Jiro) and get that true variety, they'll be getting something closer to the size of standard Fuyu. The Jiro is the most cold-hearty of the whole asian persimmon variety, is non-astringent of course, but when sitting for longer periods they can get much softer than a standard fuyu (not quite to a Hachiya or other astringent level though). Hope this review helped someone.

I thought that was the case too, but didn't say anyting....I just bought & planted 3 Jiro's....& didn't think they'd get as big as the one he showed....

Your taste buds exactly right, sweet, pumpkin, married, apple

Thanks for the comparison test. On that bases, I am ordering the Ichikikijiro from Daleys right now.

Thanks for another video, looking forward to see how your American Pawpaw trees are going. That is the most exciting plants you have although all fruiting plants are super exciting. Your sugar cane is crazy! God bless.

It's an unusual sight seeing tropical fruit trees turn deciduous beside cold climate cherries and plums. Pawpaws have been slowly losing their leaves since early March. Excited for the next growth season.

When would you recommend covering them with netting? Right when the new leaves emerge in the spring or as the young fruits start to appear? Thank you 🙏

Size doesn’t really matter if your fuyu produces alot anyway. My fuyu produced over 60 fruit this year so not really missing out on not having a jiro.

Hi, I want to buy and plant a persimmon tree, variety Jiro, and I have some questions: 1. Can they be kept under control from the height & spread point of view? Meaning to not be taller than 2-2.5 meters. 2. Are they self-pollination trees, or they need a pair? Thank you.

@rodneysharon9654

Yes, you prune them to keep a smaller size and they are self pollinating.

Let it sit until it becomes soft like a tomato, then it is really sweet.

One interesting issue about your 4k UHD videos for me is because the broadband isn't particularly good in my area and additionally my wireless connection is a bit weak I often get a lot of freezing and buffering on your videos because the extra detail requires extra bandwidth to play 'live' . I don't have buffering on anyones videos that are recorded in regular mode. It does vary according to the time of day as obviously it will depend on internet usage by other people

Interesting size difference as normally Fuyu is a bigger variety than Jiro. It may be due to the size of your trees or the amount of fruits on them as obviously with fewer fruits they tend to be larger. That large one looks more like a Giant Fuyu or Hana Fuyu. Also interesting that the smaller one has seeds which means that has been pollinated by a male flower.

@@RealLifeFruitopia Over here in the state, where you buy your fruit trees is critical if you want true to type trees...I bought one at Home Depot for fuyu tree, and three years later, it is an astringent type with similar shape, though a little smaller fruits. I did order a giant fuyu plant from a good nursery last year, and this year, it bears 15 large fuyu persimmons and the tree is only about four feet tall. From what I understood, Jiro size is medium, slightly larger than Fuyu. Yours is way larger than a Fuyu, more like my Giant Fuyu...Not saying that you are wrong, but mislabeling is common in the states, especially big box stores, and occasionally, nurseries which supply trees to these big box stores...

I think Jiro and Fuyu are about the same size fruit with Jiro a little bit squarish with seeds and more pronounced lines on each sides and Fuyu more round and no seeds, just slightly smaller. There's also Giant variety that you are showing. I have four varieties and Jiro is the easiest to grow in tropical country.
