1. Is it possible that Rosseyanka (hybrid persimmon) or Nikita's Gift
(hybrid persimmon) might sport a few male limbs/flowers on occasion?

2. If this is possible... is it also possible that a pollinator might visit
a male blossom on Rosseyanka/Nikita's Gift and transfer this pollen to the
female blossom of a nearby pure American persimmon (northern strain; 90-c),
that viable seed would be produced through the crossing?

3. Can a 100% pure male American persimmon (northern strain) openly
pollinated cross with Rosseyanka/Nikita's Gift, that viable seed would be
produced; correct?


Lastly, does anyone one have a collection of American persimmons that have
no near by male persimmon trees -- no pollinator tree EXCEPT for Szukis?
That they could send (/sell) me seed?
Hi Steve,

I ran across this message from January and I didn't find a record that I had answered you.
Q # 1 I have never seen a staminate flower on any of my hybrids. I wouldn't say impossible but highly highly highly unlikely.
Q # 2 if either of those hybrids ever produced a male flower then yes it would be possible pollinate in 90 chromosome American persimmon.
Q # 3 Yes, 90 chromosome males will polymerize Rosseyanka and Nikita's gift flowers. I have maybe a dozen or more of each. They grow contorted and are slow to start bearing. And generally the fruits are of lesser quality than either the hybrid or the virginiana.

Jerry
