Persimmon (Hybrid), Rosseyanka, Bare Root

Rosseyanka is a unique hybrid persimmon that combines the cold-hardiness of American persimmons with the sweet, rich flavor of Asian varieties. This mid-sized tree, reaching a height of 15-20 feet, produces bright orange fruit with a smooth texture and honeyed sweetness, typically ripening in mid-fall. The fruit can be eaten fresh or used in baking and preserves, offering a deliciously sweet, non-astringent flavor when fully ripe. Rosseyanka's brilliant red-orange fall foliage enhances its ornamental appeal, making it a beautiful and productive addition to the landscape. Thriving in USDA Zones 5-9, Rosseyanka is well-suited for colder climates where other persimmons may struggle.
