Nishimura Wase Persimmon (Diospyros kaki)<br /> A richly flavored variety with juicy, spicy-sweet chocolate colored flesh.  The fruit is medium large and nearly round.  The tree is vigorous and easy to grow. It ripens in September three weeks to a month before Fuyu.  It ripens in climates with summers too cool to consistently ripen Fuyu. It is a non astringent pollination variant which means it develops its rich sweet flavor best when it is pollinized.  Without pollination it is seedless but astringent and then must be eaten dead ripe. Chocolate is the best pollinizer. Requires less than 200 hours chilling below 45º F. Mature height is 25  feet with a spread of 15-20  feet. Cold hardy to U.S.D.A. Zone 7.    Sunset Zones: 5-9, 11, 14-23, 26-33
