American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)

The American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a popular choice for home orchards due to its delicious fruit, attractive foliage, and adaptability to a wide range of climates. This variety produces large, orange-colored fruits that are sweet and astringent when ripe, making them ideal for pies, jams, and dried persimmons. Persimmons ripen on the tree - pick after the first frost! The tree itself is an ornamental addition to any landscape, with glossy, dark green leaves that turn a brilliant yellow to red in the fall. It is a great permaculture plant providing livestock feed, wildlife attraction, and valuable wood. Additionally, it is tolerant of black walnut juglones! We highly recommend this tree!

Native Range: Eastern United States from New York to Texas
Sun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Moisture: Moist but well-drained soil
Mature Height: 30-50 feet
Mature Width: 20-30 feet
Bloom Time: May-June
Bloom Color: White to pale yellow

Pollination:
Trees are dioecious (male or female) and must have both for pollination. Recommend planting at least 3 and thinning them once sex is determined. Alternatively graft known scion wood onto this seedling as rootstock.
