American Persimmon
Bring home the delicious and stunning American Persimmon tree, a unique fruit-bearing addition to your garden or orchard. Known for its rich, sweet flavor and vibrant orange fruits, the American Persimmon thrives in a variety of climates, especially in USDA hardiness zones 4-9. This deciduous tree grows up to 25-60 feet tall, with a spreading canopy that provides ample shade.
In late fall, enjoy the sweet, honey-like persimmons that ripen on the tree after the first frost, offering a treat for both people and wildlife. The fruit is perfect for eating fresh, making jams, or baking into pies. The tree itself features glossy, dark green leaves in the spring and summer, which turn a striking yellow to red in the fall. Native american persimmons are great rootstocks for asian varieties.
American persimmons are dioecious meaning each plant has either male or female reproductive organs. Plant multiple persimmon trees for good pollination.
** We ship two persimmons per order to increase the likelihood of fruiting. **
