I have an Early Golden persimmon and before I planted a male persimmon tree,
I did have a few persimmon but after I planted a male persimmon I had a much
larger crop of persimmons. Judson L. Frisk, SW Iowa zone 5.

I need some advice. Do the American persimmons require a male
pollinator? I have Early Golden and also a Rossayanka (which is a cross
between American and Asian.)

I'm reading different things. Some people have said Rossayanka fruits
perfectly well without a male. Other places are saying the American
persimmons must have a male (which means taking up space for a tree that
produces no fruit.)

Any experience with these?

Does anyone have Rossayanka? I've also seen some comments that its fruit
setting may be more susceptible to late frosts than either American or
Asian persimmons. That's a big concern here. Any experience with it?

Thanks!

Regards,

Jay
