{"Image DocumentName": "Climate and soil:Persimmon can be grown in a wide range of subtropical and warm temperate climate.", "Image ImageDescription": "The areas 1000 to 1500 m amsl that have moderate winter and relatively mild summer are ideal for its cultivation. It is a deciduous tree and can tolerate low temperature of -150C during dormancy, but its chilling requirement is less (less than 200 hrs), bud sprouting occurs early in the spring. These buds are damaged by the spring frost. During the maturation period, temperature is the most important factor for obtaining quality fruits. Non astringent cultivars require warmer condition for fruit maturation than the astringent type. Although persimmon can grow on a wide range of soil types yet it thrive best on deep, well drained loamy soil. A pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 is ideal for its growing.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
