Hana Fuyu Persimmon

✓ Verified

Japan (traditional)

Hana Fuyu is confirmed in real academic persimmon genetics literature as a genuine, documented Japanese pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA) cultivar, noted among the varieties that have become popular with growers in more recent decades alongside Fuyu, Izu, and Jiro. Its name references Fuyu, suggesting a close relationship or descent, though I was not able to confirm the exact nature of that connection. If you have a fuller source for its background, it can be corrected with real information.
