Persimmon Jiro

The 'Jiro' persimmon, a variety of Diospyros kaki, is a deciduous fruit tree known for its sweet, non-astringent fruit. Growing to a height of 4-5 meters, it has a rounded canopy with glossy, dark green leaves that turn vibrant shades of orange and red in autumn. In spring, the tree produces small, creamy-yellow flowers that give way to medium to large, flat, orange fruit, typically ripening in late fall. 'Jiro' persimmons are prized for their crisp texture and honey-like flavor, making them perfect for fresh eating. This tree thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular choice for home orchards and gardens.
