The research evaluates the vegetative and productive behavior of five cultivars and one selection ofpersimmon cultivated in Veranópolis, RS, Brazil. In general, the flowering of persimmon cultivars and selectionoccurred in October, while the fruit’s ripening began in March and finished in April or May. ‘Kaoru’, ‘Rama Forte’,‘Micado’ and ‘Regina’ showed the longest cycles (period between the beginning of the flowering and the beginningof the ripening), while ‘Fuyu’ and ‘Chocolate 3’ the shortest cycles. The cvs. Fuyu, Kaoru and Micado exhibitedalternation of production. Regina persimmon was the best, with an average yield of 83,10 kg/plant; ‘Kaoru’ and‘Fuyu’ also showed good yields. The cv. Micado showed the highest mean fruit weight (368,43 g), while the cv.Rama Forte showed the lowest (140,25 g).
