Abstract
Eleven local pollination constant astringent (PCA) Taiwanese persimmon
(Diospyros kaki L.) varieties were evaluated for their tree and fruit characteristics.
'Suzchou', 'Niouhsin' and 'Shihshih' were the major commercial varieties used for
soft, crisp and dry persimmons respectively. 'Fuyu' and' Jiro' are the leading
pollination constant non-astringent (PCNA) persimmon varieties in the Taiwan
middle elevation (600-1000M) area. 'Fuyu' had a narrower adaptation than ' Jiro',
which could be cultivated in central Taiwan’s low elevation area. Two PCNA type
persimmon genotypes were selected from the progenies of 'Fuyu' hybridized with an
unnamed, PCNA genotype that exhibited staminate flowers and had grown in the
central Taiwan low elevation area since about 1940.
