Hi, Scott,
Will 'Saijo' Asian Persimmon pollinate 'Maru' (PVNA)? I definitely want to get, not only 'Saijo', but a PVNA thanks to your recommendation. Unfortunately, 'Chocolate' doesn't seem to be hardy to zone 6, but 'Maru' seems to be. I will plant both trees (Saijo/Maru, that is).
1. Will they cross-pollinate enough?
2. If the 'Maru' doesn't get pollinated, will it be edible after it softens still, and yet just not edible when firm, or will it be inedible at all stages if pollinated.
Thanks,
Steve
