- Alex3917 6y agoWhat cultivars would you recommend? I planted a szukis, john rick, and mohler this past year. Not sure what else I should be looking into.
- barathr 6y agoAmong the less common ones Izu and Mikatani Gosho are good.
- pvaldes 6y agoI would like to know your with those varieties that are almost unknown in Europe. Hatchiya is the standard one in astringent types. 'Rojo brillante' is also very good. Saijo and Chocolate are also very famous but not so easy to find. All named varieties are astringent.
