The skin of the fruit is blackand the flesh has abundant nutritional value, with vitamin C andcarotene. Information given by a black persimmon orchard.A trial on black persimmon was carried out from 2003 to 2009 inZhengzhou, Henan province, China. Plant growth, yields and phenologicalcharacteristics were studied. The fruit has a thick skin which assistsin storage and transportation; it has excellent flavor and quality,making the fruit highly valued by producers, marketers and consumers. Key cultivation techniques. Practices to achieve highquality are reviewed such as the proper plant environment, tree plantingand pruning, the soil management, the wintering and protection ofyoung trees, and pest control.
