 Persimmon Kaki Tone Wase – An early and hardy reference for professional growers
 The Persimmon Tree 'Tone Wase' ( Diospyros kaki 'Tone Wase' ) is a Japanese variety particularly well suited to the requirements of professional production in France, particularly north of the Loire. Its precocity , high hardiness , disease resistance and high productivity make it an excellent alternative to more classic cultivars such as 'Fuyu' or 'Jiro'. 
 Precocity and easy harvesting
 This variety is distinguished by its very early maturity , generally reached at the beginning of October , or even at the end of September in the warmest areas. The flattened and square shape of its medium-sized fruits allows for quick and efficient picking , well suited to manual harvesting in professional orchards. 
 Fruit quality
 At full maturity, the fruits have a beautiful yellow-orange to deep orange color , a fibrous flesh in its center , and a moderately sweet but fragrant taste . The fruit reaches an excellent taste quality once ripe, with a sugar content (Brix) of 15 to 18% , slightly lower than 'Fuyu'. The dry matter fluctuates between 20 and 25%, which also makes it an interesting variety for drying . 
 Resistance and agronomic behavior
 The 'Tone Wase' is distinguished by its remarkable resistance to fungal diseases (20 to 25% higher than the average for standard varieties) and its high tolerance to parasites . Its hardiness is also a major asset: once well established, it resists down to -15°C , and its late bud burst limits the risks associated with spring frosts .
 It moderately tolerates calcareous soils (up to pH 7.5-8.0) and has average resistance to root asphyxiation , provided the soil is well drained. Its resistance to drought is satisfactory, especially when grafted onto Diospyros virginiana , a rootstock that improves its adaptation to difficult conditions. 
 Morphology and cultural requirements
 'Tone Wase' develops an open habit , a height of 4 to 5 meters and a spread of 3 to 3.5 meters at maturity. It has medium to strong vigor , and an extensive taproot system , well adapted to deep, loamy or clayey soils.
 It requires full sun exposure , planting in well-drained soil and spacing of 4 to 5 meters between plants. Regular watering is recommended in the first few years, especially during periods of drought. Light to moderate staking is useful during the first 2 to 3 years. 
 Performance and Use
 The yield is very high , with an average production of 90 kg per adult tree , reaching up to 150 kg in optimal conditions. The variety is self-fertile , but remains astringent, whether pollinated or not. It is also melliferous , contributing to the biodiversity of the orchard.
 The 'Tone Wase' is suitable for both fresh sale , early market , and processing (drying) . Its non-ribbed shape and stable size make it easy to package.
