Introduction to Four Major Varieties of Sweet Persimmon Saplings, Each with Great Market Potential

Persimmon is a very common and well-known fruit. Persimmon, which has the title of "king of fruits," is not only loved by modern people; even in the past, according to relevant records, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very fond of persimmons and once used dried persimmons as a food reserve. Golden-orange persimmons are not only sweet and delicious, but also very comprehensive in nutritional content, and are greatly welcomed in the market. With the rapid development of the planting industry, there are more and more varieties of persimmon saplings. Today we will learn about several sweet persimmon varieties with great market potential.

The fruit is oblate, orange-yellow, with a single fruit weight of about 200 g. The flesh is orange-yellow, crisp and tender, with soluble solids of about 15%, few or no seeds, and excellent quality.
