The Japan Persimmon.


The following paper was read before
the American Pathological Society at it's
last meeting by B. F. Livingstone, OF
Waldo:
The Kaki, commonly known as the Ja-
pan persimmon (Diospyrus Kaki, is a
genus of hard wooded, thick leaved trees
belonging to the natural order Of ebenac-
coe. In the East Indies and Ceylon, the
most important species are those produc-
ing ebony.
In China, Japan and America, themost
important species are those producing
fruit. The Diospyrus Kaki, or "Chinese
date PALM" introduced in the United
States from Japan, is The subject OF our
present essay.
After several unsuccessful attempts to
introduce this fruit in the high ATTITUDES
of the United States, some enterprising
nurserymen of the South, among them
Honorable p J. Berkman, of Augusta,
Ga, and the late lamented A. j. Bidwell,
then of Arlington, Duval county, Fla,
succeeded in establishing this most valu-
able and nutritious fruit in the States of
Georgia and Florida.
The earnest solicitation for it's success
has stimulated an indefatigable effort on
the part of our Southern nurserymen, who
have found healthy auxiliary in our
amateur growers all over Florida and
Georgia, each and all having solved some
problem touching it's propagation, until
the present is an era of Kaki culture and
we are sanguine in the hope that it will
mark an epoch of prosperity for the
grower.
My knowledge of thegrowth OF this fruit
tree being confined to Florida, enables
me to speak with certainty as to this
State alone; and | expect to be verified
by our growers when | say that there is
no fruit tree in the State thatgrows more
thriftily and vigorously, with SO little
manure and cultivation, as the Kaki,
especially when grated on OurWild native
stock, the Dyospyrus Virginiana. But
this native stock is best when grownfr from
seed, as the old field root-sprouts are bar
ren and less thrifty, besides being predis-
posed to harbor the ova and larva of a
beetle of the genus Elaphidion, which is
the principal enemy of our Kaki. The
damage is done by the larva from time of
Matching until it enters the chrysalate
state. The deadly work is done by cut
ting into the heart of the tree, and down
the heart pith to and through all the
large roots. The tree usually dies, but a
few have survived in my experience.
There are but two other enemies to my
knowledge, exceptperhapst sthecaterpillar,
that few years ago attacked one OF my
"Ginji" trees, but this one instance is all
out of thousands of trees, but the cater
pillars do damage our wild persimmons
to considerable extent
The two other enemies referred to above
are first, little worm that eats round
the young bud, causing it to die, and the
mealy louise, an aphis, that sometimes
infest the young tender leaves in midsum-
mer; neither are serious as the former is
rare, and can be avoided by rootgrafting
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-04-03

weeds as my wife's kitchen floor is from
dirt. Now, the question want to ask is
what is the use of all this? Even if | felt
inclined to admit that it does no harm,
(Which am not), would beunder theme
cesslty of confessing that itdoes nogood,
and is consequently time and labor lost.
Verify, Mr.. Editor, as you say, ourfruit
growers must learn their business and
then, perhaps, they would not spend so
much time scraping and plowing their
groves and so much money for fertilizers.
