American Persimmon (Bare Root)
(Diospyros Virginiana)
American Persimmon is a remarkable native fruit tree that is adaptable to many climates and has a natural immunity to disease and pests. It produces small, sugary orange fruits that hang onto the tree like ornaments into late fall and early winter. Fruits are edible and delicious, but must be allowed to completely soften to become caramel-like, otherwise they will be astringent. This is a great wildlife plant and mature trees will produce plenty enough for all who wants some!
Flavor profile: Caramel, sugary, apricot, tangerine
Hardiness zone: 4-9
Light: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained soil with pH 5.5-7
Mature height: 30-60’
Spacing: 15-25’ apart
Pollination: American persimmon seedlings are unsexed, meaning trees could be either male or female. It’s recommended to plant at least 3 or 4 to ensure that there is at least one male and one female in the group for fruit production.
Growing tips: Consistent watering is crucial for newly planted trees to help minimize transplant shock and establish strong roots.
We are unable to ship this product outside the contiguous US or to California.
