This hardy, adaptable deciduous tree is prized for its sweet autumn fruit, brilliant fall foliage, and value to wildlife. Ideal for backyard orchards, food forests, homesteads, and habitat restoration projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"789\"\u003eAmerican Persimmon typically reaches 35–60 feet tall with a graceful oval to pyramidal shape. Mature bark becomes dark gray to black and deeply blocky, with attractive orange tones between the ridges. Glossy dark green leaves turn vibrant yellow, orange, and deep red in fall, making this tree as ornamental as it is productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"1209\"\u003eFragrant white to greenish-yellow flowers bloom in May–June. This species is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate trees. Female trees produce round orange fruits up to 2 inches wide. The fruit is very astringent when unripe but becomes richly sweet after fully ripening—often following frost. Ripe persimmons are delicious fresh and excellent for baking, puddings, syrups, jellies, and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003eHighly adaptable, this native tree tolerates drought, brief flooding, and varied soil conditions once established. It attracts birds and wildlife and is a valuable addition to native plant landscapes. Plant multiple seeds to increase the chance of establishing both male and female trees for reliable fruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1737\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1545\"\u003e✔️ 30 American Persimmon seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1578\"\u003e✔️ Botanical name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003e✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003e✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions\u003cbr data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"1698\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"2256\"\u003e🌼 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003eCommon Name: American Persimmon\u003cbr data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eBotanical Name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous fruiting tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Seed\u003cbr data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1900\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to part shade (best fruiting in full sun)\u003cbr data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"1971\"\u003eSoil: Prefers deep, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loam; adaptable\u003cbr data-start=\"2043\" data-end=\"2046\"\u003eWatering: Dry to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003cbr data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2107\"\u003eMature Height: 35–60 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2132\" data-end=\"2135\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSpread: 25–35 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2153\" data-end=\"2156\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Slow to medium\u003cbr data-start=\"2183\" data-end=\"2186\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 4–9\u003cbr data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Suitable for early growth only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2258\" data-end=\"2532\"\u003e💡 \u003cstrong data-start=\"2261\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003eCare Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2277\"\u003eSoak seeds for 24 hours.
