Not necessarily. Persimmon trees grown from seeds can differ from their parent plants in fruit color, flavor, size, and other characteristics. The name Japanese Black Persimmon should be verified with the seed supplier, as seed-grown plants may not retain the exact traits of a named parent variety.
