There is another wonderful variety in Ukraine, called ''Дар Софіївки (''Dar Sofiyivky''). I recommend!

I have a big piece of land underneath a mountain in Bosnia and I'm thinking of trying to make a farm of some uncommon fruit. Can you by any chance recommend any nurseries that I could get in touch to consult and see if I can order a larger number of these trees?

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to decide if I want to go with a Fuyu or the Nikita's Gift. The info about the astringency helped me make that decision. I eat almost all my fruit slightly under ripe and slightly hard so It sounds like this tree probably wouldn't be a good match for me.I've bitten into an astringent persimmons while it was still hard, before I knew any better, and it wasn't the bite of joy that I was looking for. Hopefully you get to see these ones through to full ripe. I'm curious to see your followup review once one becomes ripe :)

+TropicalEncounter An encounter with an astringent persimmon can swear a man off of them for life.

LOL on the traffic. It happens :-) Your persimmons look pretty big. They also look very healthy. Here's hoping they don't drop on you as I'd like to see the end result. Take care and be safe👍

+P. C. Yes, they are larger than I was expecting.

Can you send me some seeds of the Nikita's gift? Really would like to try and grow this here in zone 5 where I am so let me know.

Is it as gorgeous in fall as catalogs show. Its hardiness of 0 degrees has prevented me from trying it here in zone 5b MI. Whats your hardiness zone?

I think Idaho is 6B. I’m in 6A. So if it survives the winter I’ll let ya know 😅

What part of Idaho do you live in???

Any idea why the leaves have that "closed up" shape to them? I seem to have the same problem with my persimmon trees and was wondering what I'm doing wrong. Normal persimmon trees have leaves wide open and look much nicer. I need to fix this condition.

Ken, I don't know what causes that. Mine was like that since it was a small grafted tree. There is an old American persimmon planted in town and the leaves look the same, so it might be an environmental thing.

@@PlantAssassin That's what I suspect. Every persimmon tree I have ever planted in my yard and at my previous yard in the same neighborhood ended up like that. I'm wondering if it's a soil deficiency of some sort. Anyway, if you ever discover what it is, please let me know. I just ordered 2 American persimmons in the mail but they're leafless due to the fall/winter season, so I don't know how they'll behave next year.

Hi. Do nikita and rosseyanka have seeds?

When pollinated, maybe. No without pollination.

Did you end up tasting a ripe one ? ;-)

So how did they do?

Fruit tasted good after they ripened. I lost the tree, I think because of negligent spraying by a neighbor.
