10 Seeds Japanese Persimmon Diospyros kaki Fruit Tree

Japanese Persimmon is a deciduous fruit tree grown for its glossy foliage and sweet, tomato-shaped orange fruit that ripens in autumn. Diospyros kaki is a long-lived, ornamental edible tree that adds seasonal color and fresh homegrown fruit to gardens and edible landscapes, with fruit typically harvested in late summer through fall once fully colored and soft. Astringent varieties are enjoyed when fully ripe, while non-astringent types can be eaten crisp; fruit works well fresh, dried, or in baked goods, and trees may be grown in the ground in milder climates or in containers in cooler regions.
