Known for its delicious late-season fruit, brilliant fall color, and adaptability, this hardy deciduous tree is ideal for home orchards, food forests, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"728\"\u003eAmerican Persimmon matures 35–60 feet tall with a graceful oval to pyramidal form. Its distinctive gray to black bark becomes deeply blocky with attractive orange tones between the ridges. Glossy dark green leaves turn vibrant yellow to fiery red in autumn, creating stunning seasonal interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003eFragrant white to greenish-yellow flowers bloom in late spring (May–June). This species is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate trees. Female trees produce showy orange fruits up to 2 inches wide. The fruit is highly astringent when unripe but becomes exceptionally sweet once fully ripe—often after frost. Ripe persimmons are delicious fresh and widely used in pies, puddings, syrups, jellies, baked goods, and dried snacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003eAmerican Persimmon is highly adaptable, tolerating drought, brief flooding, and a wide range of soils once established. It attracts birds and wildlife and is an excellent addition to habitat plantings. Plant multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of establishing both male and female trees for fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1712\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003e✔️ 15 American Persimmon seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003e✔️ Botanical name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003e✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"1623\"\u003e✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions\u003cbr data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1673\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"2231\"\u003e🌼 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1740\"\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1743\"\u003eCommon Name: American Persimmon\u003cbr data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"1777\"\u003eBotanical Name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1816\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous fruiting tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1851\" data-end=\"1854\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Seed\u003cbr data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1875\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to part shade (best fruiting in full sun)\u003cbr data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1946\"\u003eSoil: Prefers deep, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loam; adaptable\u003cbr data-start=\"2018\" data-end=\"2021\"\u003eWatering: Dry to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003cbr data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2082\"\u003eMature Height: 35–60 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2107\" data-end=\"2110\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSpread: 25–35 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Slow to medium\u003cbr data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2161\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 4–9\u003cbr data-start=\"2176\" data-end=\"2179\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Suitable for early growth only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2233\" data-end=\"2497\"\u003e💡 \u003cstrong data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2249\"\u003eCare Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003eSoak seeds for 24 hours.
