Unbranded #1 Pot Fuyugaki Persimmon Tree

The Fuyugaki or Fuyu persimmon is a small deciduous tree that produces medium-large, tomato shaped fruit that tends to have distinct indentations that run up and down the persimmon making it appear almost square. This non-astringent persimmon is deep orange with a light orange flesh and it ripens in late October or early November. The fruit is sweet and mild and can be eaten fresh or used in jellies and pies. It also keeps well so you can save some for later. In addition to fresh grown fruit, the Fuyugaki is a good choice because it is pest and disease resistant, requiring little attention after it has been planted. The tree has a maturity height between 15 ft. and 20 ft. and a width of 15 ft. to 20 ft. It requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is semi-self-pollinating. We graft the Fuyugaki persimmon onto native American persimmon root stock. It is shipped in a #1 pot with a minimum height of 12 in. and is hardy in USDA Zones 8-9.
