Product Details

Known in Japan as Nishimura Wase, the ‘coffee cake’ persimmon is a ‘Non Astringent Pollination Variant’ (NAPV) variety, which means that the fruit is totally different depending on whether it was pollinated or not. It is considered Choice when the flowers are Pollinated and the fruit develops a crunchy brown flesh, like a chocolate Fuyu and contains seeds. It ripens early but you can let them ripen further until they turn gooey which is also quite yummy. But when it is not pollinated, it behaves like an astringent variety, similar to Hachiya, and it will instead be inedibly astringent until later in the season, when it develops into a bag of soft, sweet tasting, mild flavored persimmon jelly without seeds.

Adam started each of these persimmon trees from seed and then grafted them, a 3 year process.

The mother tree grows at our neighbor’s place, OLaLa Farms in North San Juan. The trees were planted about 50 years ago by Arlo Acton and family.
