About This Plant

American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a hardy deciduous fruit tree known for green foliage, yellow-to-orange autumn color, and round orange edible fruit when mature. These are young seed-grown sapling seedlings, approximately 6 inches tall, shipped bare root. Plants are dioecious, so fruit production may not occur on a single tree.

Growing Tips

Upon arrival, rehydrate the bare roots before planting and transplant into rich, well-draining soil. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Initially place in bright indirect light while recovering from shipping, then gradually expose to full sun. Leaf loss after shipping or during winter dormancy is normal. For eating, allow fruit to fully ripen and become orange, as unripe fruit can be very astringent.

Live Plant Notice

Live plants naturally vary in size, shape, foliage, and appearance. Depending on the season and shipping conditions, plants may arrive dormant, leafless, pruned, bare root, or show minor shipping stress such as wilting or leaf loss.
