If there any of you at TV how grow Persimmons in open soil? I think this is possible only in warmer climates Zone 8+. I know that you grow your own Virginian kind of persimmon.

So If anybody interested I can send you seeds of Caucasian persimmon (Diospyros kaki) which is very popular here to eat in wintertime. They are from Republic of Georgia (my Motherland) and Azerbaijan where they have been growing eastern type of persimmon since XIX centuary.

Yesterday I've bought 2 kg of delicious Korolek persimmons with very sweet chocolate pulp :wink: Minus 1 kg already

There are 6-7 seeds in every fruit... Trees are hardy to - 10 C - 15 C.

P.S. Seeds of local pomegranatum from Azerbaijan is also available...
