Seeds from a special American persimmon tree selected by Ken Asmus of Oikos Tree Crops. Fruit are firm, with a low seed count, and no astringency even when picked from the tree. Earlier than other cultivars and with a great flavor and texture too! If you are growing American persimmon you want this in your mix. (Limited supplies!)
