For this reason, in 20 9 year, we established an experimental plot with two cultivars Rosseyanka and Jiro, to study the persimmon culture suitability in Romania. The study carried out so far, shows that the Rosseyanka cultivar, reached a high fruits yield of kg/tree, in the fourth year after planting. From the point of view of fruit quality, the Jiro variety recorded a value of fruit weight of 62.2g/fruit and 85.36 mg% vitamin C fruits contents.
