Description:Excerpt from Agricultural Experiment Station of the Louisiana State University and A.& M. College: Baton Rouge; Japanese Persimmons Being so very prolific, easily grown, and having such excellent qualities for transportation, there should be nothing to hinder the extension of their culture, for the Northern markets as well as for local consumption. It is confidently believed, that easy and successful treatment will be brought out, that will correct the astringency of the fruit before softening, and thus present a fruit that is healthy and luscious and capable of being put to a large number of uses. Considered Botanically. There are a large number of species in the genus to which the persimmon belongs, but only two are mentioned as of any economic importance, native to America, and two likewise native of the Orient. These are: Diospyros Virginiana - The native wild persimmon of the Southern States. Diospyros Texana - Wild persimmon of Texas.Diospyros kaki - Japanese persimmon.Diospyros Lotus - Chinese persimmon. Everyone in Louisiana is thoroughly acquainted with the native persimmon, and as this bulletin has to deal with the foreign species, nothing especially will be said concerning the native, unless it is to mention that they are very much neglected, and unfortunately so, as there is no doubt but that they are capable of being greatly improved by selection, cultivation and crossing. A fruit that varies naturally so much in size and quality, some day will be taken more vigorously in hand and numerous valuable varieties secured and perpetuated. There are at present about twenty varieties of our native persimmons cultivated locally in various parts of the United States. The two foreign species mentioned have been growing at the Louisiana Station for several years, the kaki so far being the one of value. Specimens of Diospyros Lotus (?) were sent to the Station by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1897. Only one tree proved to be pistillate. These trees were grown from seeds obtained by the United States Department of Agriculture at Niu Chuang, China.
