  • Diospyros virginiana 'H-120'
  • (also known as Claypool H-120) is a highly prized variety of Virginia persimmon that originated from James Claypool’s breeding program.
  •     Key characteristics of the H-120 variety:
    Fruit flavor and quality: The fruit is rated as excellent, with pleasant caramel notes and a moderately firm texture. The flesh is bright and juicy, without the black specks found in some other varieties.
  •     Size and shape: The fruit reaches a diameter of approximately 4 cm (about 1⅝ inches) and has a flat shape.
  •     Ripening: This is an early-ripening variety, which is advantageous for regions with shorter summers.
  •     Tree growth: The tree is medium-sized, very productive, and has good fruit set. When mature (with pruning), it can be maintained at a height of about 4.5–6 meters.
  •     Hardiness: Like most Virginia persimmons, it is very hardy; it is generally listed as hardy in USDA zones 5–9 (tolerates temperatures well below -20 °C). 
  •     Cultivation:
  •     Habitat: It prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to poorer soil conditions.
  •     Uses: The fruits are ideal for eating fresh when fully ripe (when they are soft) or for use in desserts, jams, and puddings.
