Yates or Prok Persimmon?

They are both sweet. Yates is a little milder with an apricot flavor and a flat shape. Prok is a little juicier with a round to oval shape. I liked them both.

I cannot answer because I have never tried prok but I can tell you that yates is very good and early ripening. Mine are ripening now and will into the 1st part of October. Early golden is also very good and I like it slightly better. It is also early ripening.

Hi all!

Where I could find seeds of Prok or other D. virginiana cultivars?
I am from Europe and they are hard to find here.
Thanks!

rofig,
I asked a similar question a while ago, but I'm still looking for a European source for a grafted persimmon. I think I've decided on Yates in the meantime, mainly because I've seen different sources indicate that it fruits well in the absence of a male pollinator. (I live in the US, but I want to buy a tree as a gift for a friend in Austria.) A member here answered my earlier question on the forum, but I tried contacting him directly, but that seems not to have worked. It also appeared from his website that he only deals in wholesale. If that same member sees this, and especially if he's willing to sell and ship a single tree, I'd still love to hear from him. Rofig, if you (or anyone else) find any European sources for persimmons please share! As for seeds, why do you want seeds and not a grafted tree?
