Japanese persimmon
Diospyros kaki
Diospyros kaki, better known as the Japanese Persimmon, Kaki Persimmon (kaki [?]) or Asian Persimmon in North America, is the most widely cultivated species of the Diospyros genus. Although its first published botanical description was not until 1780, the kaki is also among the oldest plants in cultivation, known for its use in China for more than 2000 years. In some rural Chinese communities, the kaki fruit is seen as having a great mystical power that can be harnessed to solve headaches, back pains and foot ache .
