Product Introduction: The Seedless Square Persimmon is a superior variety unique to the mountainous regions of Changbei, Lin’an City, named for its square shape and seedlessness. Passed down through generations for over 200 years, the region’s maximum annual yield can reach over 50 tons, with individual trees yielding 500–1000 kilograms. The Changbei Seedless Square Persimmon holds high economic value as every part is useful. The fruit boasts beautiful color, a sweet and refreshing taste, and very little astringency. Its vitamin A and C content are higher than that of apples and pears. Persimmon calyxes can treat persistent hiccups caused by coldness. Persimmon leaves contain up to 2700 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of fresh leaves—10–50 times higher than dates, citrus fruits, and kiwifruit. Processed into summer drinks, persimmon leaves are large and dense, providing good shade and making them ideal for greening. Propagation is done via grafting onto lilac rootstock, with fruit-bearing possible within three to five years.

Product History: Persimmon cultivation has a long history, with records dating back to the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. Thousand-year-old persimmon trees and century-old persimmon groves are commonly found.
