“Here’s the deal with persimmons; they’re incredibly genetically fluid,” says Jeff Rieger, a fruit farmer in Placer County, California. “If you have a Fuyu tree, and another guy has a Fuyu tree, unless they came from exactly the same place, I will guarantee you they are different.” This extreme genetic fluidity comes from the persimmon’s penchant to “sport”—to grow a branch that produces a completely different kind of fruit from the rest of the tree.
