Question:

What persimmon varieties can successfully be grown in Iowa?

Answer:

Common or American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a unique fruit native to the eastern and midwestern United States.  The easiest varieties to grow are those that are self-fruitful, although any variety will have a better fruit set when another variety is planted nearby.  

Varieties to grow in Iowa, especially southern Iowa, include: 'Yates' and 'Meader."
