Japan Persimmons ( Diospyros Kaki ) 
The Japan Persimon 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, also are growing successfully 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 persimmons will succeed with little care or 
attention, but to get the best results it 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 in 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 tlie 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
