Hi Jane, Thanks for writing. If you double-click on the photo you get the monograph that tells you these are good from zones 4 to 8, so you’re in. Our persimmons bore well this year and we’re looking forward to harvesting them after frost and again offering the fresh seeds for sale. Hit “waitlist” and stay tuned. Richo
