Japan Persimmons (Diospyros Kaki) 
The Japan Persimmon is thoroughly at home in the Cotton Belt. It does especially well in the Coast Region. 
Some varieties have succeeded in middle Kentucky and Virginia. We have also seen the trees growing success¬ 
fully in southern New Jersey. • 
The tree is a vigorous grower and an early and most prolific bearer. In fact, the tree is apt to over-bear, 
and, therefore, the fruit must be properly thinned. The trees will succeed with little care or attention, but to get 
the best results they should receive the proper care and attention as to fertilization and cultivation. 
This fruit is coming to the front for market purposes, and commands good prices, as it usually comes on the 
market ii! the fall and early winter. A careful selection of varieties will give fruit from August until frost. If 
the fruit is harvested before it is touched by frost, and house-ripened, the quality becomes greatly improved. For 
shipment the fruit should be packed in flat boxes with divisions, or in the standard six-basket carrier as is used 
for Peaches. Some varieties have dark flesh which are edible while the fruit is hard; whereas the light flesh 
varieties must be thoroughly matured before they can be eaten, as they are very astringent until fully ripened. 
The fruit of nearly every variety begins to color when half grown, but should be allowed to hang upon the tree 
until just before frost is expected, or in‘the case of early ripening varieties, when fully matured. Many of the 
late-ripening varieties can be kept until February. Some varieties will be seedless during certain years, and then 
again in other years they will contain more or less seeds: Furthermore, both round and pointed specimens are 
sometimes produced on the same tree.
