Fuyu Persimmon Tree (Diospyros kaki ‘Fuyu’)

The Fuyu Persimmon tree is the most commonly grown persimmon throughout the world. In spring it produces bright yellow flowers that attract pollinators. The fruit is donut shape and a vibrant orange color when ripe. Once the skin is a deep orange and soft to the touch it is ripe and ready to enjoy. Harvest in September-October. When fully established a mature tree can produce 300 pounds of fruit.

Once established, it is drought tolerant. Average height 12′ – 15′ and 10′ – 12′ wide. Required Chill Hours: 100-200. USDA hardiness zones 7 – 11.
