A large, squat persimmon, beautifully shaped with a large rib around the top, like an acorn top. It is a soft hachiya type that is astringent until it turns into a sack of orange persimmon jelly with thick, sweet, edible skin. Super sweet, delicious and flavorful. Great to eat fresh out of hand or used in baking.

This is a three year old tree that Adam started from seed and then chip budded last year.

It is an old variety imported into the United States in the late 1800’s and documented in this beautiful USDA watercolor in 1918. 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.
