per item
North American persimmons can withstand colder temperatures that Asian persimmons. They have smaller fruit and are astringent until fully ripe - then they have a very sweet, rich flavour and a pudding-like texture.
'Gordon' was selected by John Gordon from the Buffalo, NY area. It was a seedling growing in the Geneva Experimental Station test plot. The delicious oval fruit is medium/large with a firmer texture than most. The fruit ripens slowly from early October until November and measures 2.5 to 3", which is large for an American persimmon. This variety produces a very sweet delicious fruit when soft. Late ripening.
USDA Zone 6-8
