I grow and ripe delicious fruits of Yates, Dooley, Szukis, and Mohler persimmons here in NY's Hudson Valley (about 80 miles north of NYC) in a cold spot, Zone 5 or, in the past, the warmer part of Zone 4. My trees are about 20 years old and winters here have dipped below minus 30 degrees F.

I was both amused and bemused to note that Virginia is not included on 

the list of states in the range of  Diospyros virginiana. However, let 

me assure all that the persimmon grows wild throughout the Old Dominion, 

as it no doubt did when the species was first described and named.
