L-93
L-93 is one of two rare American persimmons Jerry Lehman sent me that carry the potential for non-astringent breeding work. Here's what he had to say about it:
The one variety that’s involved in all of the 4 that of been identified as having non-astringent characteristics is Morris Burton. There was a doctor Sekar at UC Davis who was an expert in identifying kaki varieties using electrophoresis. He wrote papers on the subject. In 1998 I had Dr. Sakar do some work for me with the object to identify virginiana/kaki hybrid’s and possible hybrids. As a basis in 1998 I did send him actively growing buds of Morris Burton and other D. virginiana in order that he could establish typical enzyme patterns for virginiana. In his report back to me he stated that Morris Burton appears to share an allele with kaki. I found that interesting and more interesting is that Morris Burton is involved in all of the 4 varieties that were observed to produce what Martha Davis and I call non-astringent fruit. That is some of the fruits could be picked off the tree while still firm with no astringency. Those 4 varieties were L-92, L-93, L-104 and L-104A. Morris Burton is involved in all 4 of these. L-92 and L-93 are Szukis X F-100. L-104 and L-104A are F-7 X Killen (using female pollen). Female pollen is my way of identifying pollen from pistillate trees. Early Golden, Garretson, Killen and Szukis will all occasionally put on male flowers and in which case all the pollen grains contain only X chromosomes, none contain O chromosomes which pollen from normal males contain 50% X and 50% O. All of the progeny using this female pollen are pistillate, none staminate. Here are the varieties involved:
Morris Burton — Open pollinated virginiana discovered near Mitchell Indiana
George — An open pollinated seedling of Garretson and is a grandson ofEarly Golden
F-7 — Morris Burton X George
F-100 — Morris Burton X George
L-92 and L-93 — Szukis X F-100
L-104 and L-104A — F-7 X Killen
