I will definitely try growing it again - we had a cooler spring followed by a REALLY HOT summer, so perhaps the plant's production was "off" because of this. Some of my other varieties didn't do as well as they normally did, also, so I'm willing to give this cultivar another shot to see what happens.

They have a creamy, almost salty taste. They are wonderful on a sandwich and a beautiful color. Mine have not gotten orange but instead a golden yellow. I will definitely continue to grow this tomato.

Only got to yellow. So I started picking them earlier and let them ripen inside. The weather was weird for us, very rainy, so that could have contributed to things. I love the look of the yellow/orange tomato cut up and mixed with red tomatoes.

It's growing beautifully here in the hot, dry desert conditions in Lancaster, Ca. Summer days are always above 90 degrees, and very frequently above 100 with about 15% humidity.

The only flaws are that the total yield of tomatoes per plant is a bit lower than most other varieties (although still quite acceptable), and the fruits mature late, so my Persimmon season is a short one. Given the fantastic flavor, I'm more than willing to put up with these shortcomings.

The foliage was taken out by the late blight that hit everything here, but the thick skinned fruit resisted cracking and disease lesions. These were the only fruit I had left after the rains.
We grow about 8 different varieties and Persimmon is one of our favorites as well as with friends we share.

Bright "persimmon" colored fruits grow 1-2 lbs., some with lime shoulders. Very meaty with few seeds, plants produce abundantly.
