Diospyros kaki, better known as the Japanese Persimmon, Kaki Persimmon (kaki [柿] or shizi [柿子] in Chinese) or Asian Persimmon in North America, is the most widely cultivated species of the Diospyros  genus. Although its first published botanical decription was not until 1780,[1][2]  the kaki is also among the oldest plants in cultivation, known for its use in China for more than 2000 years.
