Chinese Persimmon Tree

Diospyros kaki, the Japanese persimmon, is a deciduous tree known for its rounded, spreading habit and glossy, dark green foliage that transforms into brilliant shades of orange and red during autumn. It produces large, edible orange fruits that persist on bare branches, creating a striking winter silhouette. This slow-growing tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, reaching heights and widths of up to thirty feet, making it an excellent choice for both ornamental and productive landscapes.
