Abstract
The first written documents mentioning the persimmon introduction to the Ukrainian territory, are dated in the year 1888. The first locally spread persimmon species evaluation was realized in the years 1924-1926 at the Research Institute in Suchumi.
Since 1901 several research projects of the Nikita Botanical Garden in Krym have been focused on persimmon varieties characterisation, dealing with those introduced from China and Japan.
Nowadays, most of the research, cultivation and breeding activities are fulfilled in the area of Crimea and Kyjev, especially in the Nikita Botanical Garden, Nova Kachovka Experimental Research Station and M. M. Grishko Botanical Garden in Kiev.
There were successfully bred new accessions of Diospyros kaki. Young plants of Diospyros virginiana have been used for persimmon grafting.
In spite of the high amount of persimmon trees growing in Ukraine most of them are not planted in orchards, but in private gardens.
