Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Russian Beauty, also known as Rosseyanka, is the hybrid we would favour when tree hardiness matters more than exceptionally large fruit. It withstands much colder winters than a typical Asian persimmon and reliably produces sweet, aromatic orange fruit. The persimmons remain smaller and must become completely soft, but can often be left hanging after the leaves have fallen.

Description

While traditional persimmons do best in warm climates Russian Beauty is a modern hybrid persimmon suitable for northern European climates with cold winters and short summers. In northern France this variety ripens in mid-October. Fruit size and flavour are good

Russian Beauty is classified as an astringent persimmon, so the fruits should be stored for a few weeks after harvest to give them time to soften and ripen. Alternatively you can leave the fruits hanging on the tree into early winter, and pick them when they are soft.
