Diospyros virginiana develops glossy green foliage that turns shades of yellow, orange, and reddish-purple in autumn, making it a striking specimen for home orchards, wildlife gardens, and naturalized landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit ripens in late summer to autumn and is enjoyed fresh when fully soft and ripe, and it is also used in baking, preserves, and desserts. Its generous crops are favored by birds and wildlife, while the tree itself offers a rugged, long-lived structure suited to spacious yards and edible plantings. Persimmon trees are dioecious, so fruit production typically requires both male and female trees; grafted or known-female stock is best for reliable harvests.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous fruit tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, rounded canopy\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, adaptable\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Fruit ripens late summer to fall\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 20 to 30 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Plant in a permanent location; dioecious, so pair male and female trees for fruiting\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664725278856,"sku":"DACO-042","price":81.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_a03bd63f-519c-4bb1-a47b-249c16018b8e.png?v=1791898172","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-live-plant-american-persimmon-tree-diospyros-virginiana-fruit-tree","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
