Persimmon maturity groups

Diospyros kaki L. f.

Classification of persimmon cultivars based on harvest timing, categorized into early, mid-season, and late groups.

In the reference 16 varieties crop Persimmon, where this is mentioned in the description.

Persimmon cultivars are traditionally divided into three maturity groups depending on the harvest period: early (from mid-September to mid-October), mid-season (from October to early November), and late (from the second half of November to January). This classification is calendar-based and depends on the climatic conditions of the region.

When assessing maturity, it is necessary to distinguish between the harvest phase, when fruits are picked firm for transportation, and consumer maturity, which occurs when the flesh softens and tannin concentration decreases. Understanding the maturity group allows agronomists to organize supply chains and plan post-harvest ripening technologies.
