This hardy deciduous species is prized for its sweet autumn fruit, brilliant fall foliage, and exceptional adaptability. Ideal for food forests, homesteads, wildlife plantings, and larger landscape projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"470\" data-end=\"788\"\u003eAmerican Persimmon matures 35–60 feet tall with a graceful oval to pyramidal form. Mature bark becomes dark gray to black and deeply blocky, with attractive orange tones between ridges. Glossy dark green leaves transform into vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and deep red in fall, providing stunning seasonal color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"1202\"\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 highly astringent when unripe but becomes richly sweet once fully ripened—often after frost. Ripe persimmons are delicious fresh and perfect for baking, puddings, syrups, jellies, and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1550\"\u003eHighly adaptable, American Persimmon tolerates drought, occasional flooding, and varied soil conditions once established. It is a valuable wildlife tree, attracting birds and other animals with its persistent fall and winter fruit. Plant multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of establishing both male and female trees for fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1764\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1572\"\u003e✔️ 60 American Persimmon seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1605\"\u003e✔️ Botanical name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003e✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003e✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions\u003cbr data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1725\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1766\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003e🌼 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1792\"\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"1795\"\u003eCommon Name: American Persimmon\u003cbr data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1829\"\u003eBotanical Name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"1868\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous fruiting tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1903\" data-end=\"1906\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Seed\u003cbr data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to part shade (best fruiting in full sun)\u003cbr data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"1998\"\u003eSoil: Prefers deep, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loam; adaptable\u003cbr data-start=\"2070\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003eWatering: Dry to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003cbr data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2134\"\u003eMature Height: 35–60 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2159\" data-end=\"2162\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSpread: 25–35 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2183\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Slow to medium\u003cbr data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2213\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 4–9\u003cbr data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2231\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Suitable for early growth only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2555\"\u003e💡 \u003cstrong data-start=\"2288\" data-end=\"2301\"\u003eCare Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2301\" data-end=\"2304\"\u003eSoak seeds for 24 hours.
