'Kaki Okitsu-20' is a Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) selection that was produced by the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science, Japan. It is a late-season persimmon with moderately large fruit, fine and juicy flesh of pollination constant and non-astringent type, and a high sugar content. Softening of the fruit and shallow concentric cracks, which leads to a high sugar content, at fruit apex are likely to occur. It is adaptable in warmer areas than the ones suitable for growing 'Fuyu' and 'Jiro' persimmons because the natural loss of astringency in the fruit is often incomplete at Akitsu. Its tree bears only female flowers, and causes little physiological fruit drop.
