Geneva American Persimmon Tree

Geneva Long' grafted American persimmon trees are available as a very, cold hardy, hybrid selection that grows well in USDA climate zones of 3 – 9. This American x Japanese hybrid was bred inside Professor George Slate's breeding program (Cornell University) at Geneva, New York, and the fruit displays both traits of the American persimmon and the Oriental Japanese persimmon tree. This excellent fruit has been renamed, 'Gordon', American persimmon tree by one online nursery, however, we prefer to keep the historical name as the correct product name.
