Web site: Some varieties below will be sold by the pound, 1/4 pound, ounce or individual seed depending on quantities available. We will shift weight classes around to try to meet demand.

Mixed seed: A mix of mostly ‘Prok’, ‘Yates’, and ‘Osage’ with some ‘Elmo’, ‘Claypool’, ‘Barbara’s Blush’, ‘Early Jewel’, ‘Lehman’s Delight’ and ‘Valeen Beauty’.  The persimmons for this seed were ripe when collected, and kept chilled. The seeds were then further rinsed, mixed with damp medium and kept refrigerated. $38/pound. This does not include shipping.

SAA Piper seed — The mother tree has large, high quality fruit. The seedlings are the most cold hardy we know. Pollinizer was Zsukis. $45/pound

Lehman’s Delight, (100-46) seed — Fruit size nearly as large as Prok, thick-skinned, late-ripening, excellent flavor.
