Why Choose Persimmon Trees (Diospyros virginiana)?

Persimmon is a deciduous tree that is native to the Eastern and Midwest regions of the US. While this native fruit tree is usually dioecious, meaning it requires a male and female tree to fruit, some trees have 'perfect flowers' and are able to self-pollinate, though most do not. To identify male and female persimmon trees, the male produces flower clusters while the female produces single flowers in spring.

Key Benefits of Persimmon Trees:

• Delicious Fruit: The small persimmon fruit matures in fall and can hang onto the tree well into winter. The fruit is used to make jelly, syrup, and pies.

• Aromatic Leaves: Persimmon tree leaves make excellent teas.

• Versatile Wood: Part of the ebony family, the wood is hard and often used in making golf club heads, shoe molds, and billiard or pool cue sticks.

• Ornamental Use: This tree is also grown as an ornamental tree for parks and large lawn areas.

Growing Tips for Persimmon Trees:

• Sunlight: Best grown in full sun with wind protection.

• Soil Requirements: Prefers slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 7) with good drainage.

• Watering: Water well, especially during the first 2 years after transplanting to promote root growth.

• Pollination: Requires a second tree that is genetically separate for cross-pollination. For good pollination, purchase at least two plants.

Additional Information:

• Fruiting: Persimmon trees generally begin fruiting when they reach roughly 6 feet in height, which can take approximately 5 to 7 years.

• Wildlife Attraction: The fruiting tree is a favorite with hunters in establishing food plots for deer and turkey.
