I shall suggest that you consult Dr. Itamura, a professor at the Shimane
University in Japan.  He is a specialist of persimmons.  He will give you
very good and detailed advice.

Dr. Itamaura's e-mail address is:  itamura@life.shimane-u.ac.jp.

You may write him that I have advised you to contact him.
