Ichi Ki Kei Jiro Persimmon
✓ VerifiedAlso known as: Ichikikei Jiro
Japan (traditional)
Ichi Ki Kei Jiro is confirmed in real academic persimmon genetics literature as a genuine, documented Japanese pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA) cultivar, part of the same broad category as Fuyu and Jiro that can be eaten firm, without needing to soften first. I was not able to find a more specific individual discovery or breeder history for this variety beyond that real classification. If you have a fuller source for its background, it can be corrected with real information.
