Foliage color variety enhances any garden or open space, and this long oval leafed tree transforms through the seasons from light bright green, thru dark pine to fall colors. In the spring it has plentiful yellow-white waxy open bell shaped flowers. The ripe persimmon is richly sweet and almost nutty in flavor.Your trees will begin to bear fruit within 2-3 years of planting.
Persimmon trees cannot always bear fruit on their own, so it is best to plant several trees for optimal fruiting. You will need another one within a mile for pollination.
Persimmon is a very adaptable tree, surviving on everything from poor sites to river bottoms, and from partial shade to ful l sun.
