Good evening Cliff,
I did have Mood Indigo, it does exist. It did fruit and I was not impressed and
I don't remember for sure where I got it from, but I believe it was from a
southern grower. As I recall I suspected it was a 60 chromosome. Sorry I
can't be of more help, if I recall my source I'll let you know. In sitting here
thinking about it, there was a NAFEX member from North Carolina, it wasn't AJ Bullard. The
same individual also found and released 2 persimmons from his area that he was
high on and they likewise didn't perform well here. I believe he named one
after a restaurant in front of which the one variety was growing. I'll admit I
did not have been grafted in a good location. His article on the 2 persimmons
would've been in Pomona
maybe 15 years ago.
If I remember this in the morning maybe my memory will be working better and
I'll recall his name. I cannot picture him in my mind and I haven't seen
him at a NAFEX meeting in many years and he may have passed away. He was
an older gentleman.
Why don't you put out a request on the NAFEX chat Benny might know or it
could be found.
Jerry
