‘Chosi’, Early Maturing Sweet Persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) for ‘Chuseok’

A persimmon (Diospyros kaki L. Thunb.) cultivar, ‘Chosi’, which was a cross between ‘Johongsi’ and ‘Nishimurawase’ in 2000, was finally selected in 2010. ‘Chosi’ persimmon fruits were harvested in Sept. 19 in Naju, with a medium fruit size of 161 g, on average, and high soluble solids of approximately 15.3 ºBx. The flesh tastes good, with a crispy texture, and the juice is rich. The shape of the fruit is round oblate, and the skin color is orange; the appearance is graceful. Physiological disorders, such as stylar-end cracking or skin fine cracking, rarely occur in this cultivar. (Registration No. 7075)
