Faqs

  • Q: What makes Jiro different from Fuyu?A: While both are sweet and eatable crisp, Jiro is known for its more squared shape, often finer texture, and a uniquely rich, honeyed flavor that sets it apart.
  • Q: Is it really seedless?A: It is considered virtually seedless (‘seedless‘ in persimmons often means 1-2 small, soft seeds). You‘ll get mostly solid, edible flesh.
  • Q: How does its productivity compare?A: Jiro is a reliable producer, though some growers note it may bear slightly lighter crops than the prolific Fuyu, but the fruit quality is considered superior.
