Jiro Persimmon
✓ VerifiedJapan
Jiro is a Japanese non-astringent persimmon often considered a sibling to Fuyu, and it has become particularly valued by growers in slightly cooler climates than typical Fuyu-growing regions, since it tends to handle marginal cold better while retaining the same firm, apple-like eating quality.
