They state that Saijo is the only Asian variety that bears fruit in their area, which is only about 100 miles from here. So that is why I bought it from them. It's possible that I am at lower elevation and warmer, so that may not apply. It took 4 years of care to get it to this stage, so that's a long time to care for a tree that is not what was advertised and sold. We'll see.<br /><br />There is still the Nikita's Gift, which is hybrid something like 3/4 Asian and 1/4 American, and the necessary conditions might be different.<br /><br />My American persimmons are a ways from bearing. The Yates - from Indiana - supposedly does not need a male, and is almost as big as the Nikita's gift now. Maybe next year? Maybe 2018?

My two female trees are loaded. I have 4 males. They won't bear fruit, but they look majestic.darwindudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839051116855902390noreply@blogger.com
