How many years of planting before they bear fruit?

Crisp persimmon has strong adaptability, is easy to manage, and has a long income period. Generally, after grafting, it begins to bear fruit in 3 to 4 years, reaches full fruiting age after 15 years, and its economic lifespan can reach a hundred years. In addition, crisp persimmon is generally marketed in autumn, and the ripening season is around October each year, but the specifics also depend on the variety and, of course, are related to planting conditions.

What is the difference between crisp persimmons and soft persimmons?

Crisp persimmon is one of Guangxi's traditional famous and high-quality products for export earnings, and it has more than 400 years of cultivation and processing history in Gongcheng. Crisp persimmons are the same as ordinary persimmons, except that during the "lan" process, crisp persimmons do not use warm water; they use only cold water. The so-called "lan" means soaking, soaking the persimmons in cold water for a longer time.

The main difference between crisp persimmons and soft persimmons is that the form of pectin is not the same. Pectin is a polysaccharide present in the cell walls of all higher plants, and in plant tissues it cross-links with cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and proteins, making the cell tissue structure firm and showing a relatively hard form. But during fruit ripening, pectin is degraded under the action of pectinase, and the fruit becomes soft.

Generally, the ripe crisp persimmons bought on the market are of one kind because they are themselves sweet persimmons, which can automatically remove astringency during natural ripening without becoming soft. The other situation is that during artificial deastringency, the activity of pectinase is inhibited, so the pectin will not be decomposed, and therefore the persimmon remains crisp.

Although there are many differences between the two, overall they are about the same in taste and nutritional value. It is suggested that if you like a crisp texture, choose crisp persimmons, and if you like sweet and soft ones, choose soft persimmons.

A persimmon tree laden with fruit is a splendid autumn scene, and crisp persimmons have both the fragrance of persimmon and the fragrance of apple, so many people like to use them to make dried persimmon and persimmon juice. But for growers in production areas, crisp persimmon is a fruit for escaping poverty and becoming rich: choose good seeds, grow good fruit, and move toward a moderately prosperous life.
