I've recently visited the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. They have the date plum
persimmon "D. Lotus". The tree was loaded with chocolated colored fruits,
they were seedless and quite tasty. I've seen trees before here in pa, grown
at Bob Seips farm. He has more than 1 tree all trees were loaded with marble
size fruit, he has a variety named wild korean, but the fruits had more seeds
than pulp.
Does anyone have experience growing that persimmon? I'm trying to find out
whether it's self-fertile or not.
The tree that was planted alone produced seedless fruits, the one planted
with other mates produced seeded fruits.
