Fuyu Japanese Persimmon
Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu' (Jiro type)
Pronunciation: di-OS-pi-ros kak-EYE
SKU #03608
An outstanding deciduous fruit tree with highly ornamental qualities, on superior Diospyros lotus rootstock. Fall foliage is a brilliant orange-red. Showy, bright orange-scarlet fruit ripens in late fall and remains on the bare stems well into winter. Non-astringent, firm-fleshed fruit is best if given time to soften slightly after harvesting from tree. Self-pollinating, but will produce more fruit with a second tree nearby.
LIGHT: Full sun
WATER: Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry.
SIZE: Moderate growing tree; reaches 30 ft. tall, spreading wider.
