Oldest known persimmon tree in Japan aged at least 600 years and being 20 m high. It has been grafted with the variety 'Saijo'. Scanned by my friend Alex from page 15 of the book "Persimmon Culture in New Zealand" by H. Kitagawa and P. G. Glucina.

Thanks to Alexander for sending this Photo!

Thanks Joe and Alexander! That is one nice persimmon. I would love to see a shot when it is loaded with ripe fruit.
