Two leaves from American Persimmon (
Diospyros virginiana) and one of Japanese Persimmon (
Diospyros kaki).
The leftmost leaf is from a variety called Juhl (aka, Yates) and the middle leaf is from Morris Burton. The rightmost leaf is from a Japanese Persimmon named Saijo.
The American Persimmon leaves are flatter, narrower and a darker green.
The Japanese Persimmon leaf is "savoyed" like spinach, rounder and a bright spring green.
