| My Honan Red persimmon finally leafed out on 5-17-13. I believe this a good variety for places with late frost. BTW, I grafted this one on Asian persimmon seedling rootstock. Next year, I will graft it on D.V. rootstock. Tony |

| Mine leafed out months ago. Fruit about the size of a quarter. I enjoy this one. Has a vanilla flavor to my taste buds. Not to happy with Tamopan. Mild sweetness, mild flavor. Hope it will be better this year. |

| KW, How old is your tree and how tall it is? I will try to keep my to about 8ft. Tony |

| I purchased it two years ago from a local nursery. It had to be about two years old when I purchased it. About 7ft tall currently. I also don't let my asian persimmons get taller than 8ft. I also have saijo and suruga. My suruga drops most of the fruit each year. What it doesn't drop, the squirrels get. Have yet to taste a suruga. |

| I have Honan Red on virginiana rootstock. Small tree, rich and very sweet tasting small fruit. Mine leafed out about the same time as the other varieties. |

| Creek, My Honan Red leafed out so late on a Giant Hana Fuyu rootstock. I will graft it on a D.Virginiana next year to compare the timing of bud break between the two rootstocks. Do you have any of the same variety of Kaki on a different rootstocks? If yes, is there a different time on bud break? Tony |

| I do, but not really looking for one, I really didn't notice any major differences between any of the different varieties, some on virginiana and some on lotus rootstocks. |
