Diospyros virginiana is a resilient, adaptable deciduous tree prized for its fragrant spring flowers, vibrant fall foliage, and sweet autumn fruit. Perfect for food forests, homesteads, wildlife habitats, restoration plantings, and larger backyard orchards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"839\"\u003eAmerican Persimmon typically reaches 35–60 feet tall with a 25–35 foot spread, forming an oval to pyramidal crown. Mature bark becomes dark gray to black with distinctive blocky texture and orange tones in the furrows, adding beautiful winter interest. Glossy dark green leaves turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and deep red in fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003eThis species is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate trees. Fragrant white to greenish-yellow flowers bloom in May and June. Female trees produce round orange fruits up to 2 inches wide. The fruit is very astringent when unripe but becomes richly sweet and flavorful once fully ripe—often after frost. Ripe persimmons are excellent fresh and ideal for baking, puddings, syrups, jellies, and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1511\"\u003eHighly adaptable, American Persimmon tolerates drought, occasional flooding, and a wide range of soil types once established. Plant multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of establishing both male and female trees for reliable fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1726\"\u003eYou will receive:\u003cbr data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003e✔️ 240 American Persimmon seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003e✔️ Botanical name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003e✔️ Fresh, untreated seeds\u003cbr data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003e✔️ Labeled seed packet with sowing instructions\u003cbr data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"2207\"\u003e🌼 Growing Information\u003cbr data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003eCommon Name: American Persimmon\u003cbr data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1787\"\u003eBotanical Name: Diospyros virginiana\u003cbr data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"1826\"\u003ePlant Type: Deciduous fruiting tree\u003cbr data-start=\"1861\" data-end=\"1864\"\u003eGrowth Stage: Seed\u003cbr data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"1885\"\u003eSun Requirements: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003eSoil: Prefers deep, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loam; adaptable to sandy soils\u003cbr data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2018\"\u003eWatering: Dry to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003cbr data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eMature Height: 35–60 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2107\"\u003eGrowth Rate: Slow to medium\u003cbr data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2137\"\u003eUSDA Zones: 4–9\u003cbr data-start=\"2152\" data-end=\"2155\"\u003eContainer Friendly: Suitable for early growth only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2468\"\u003e💡 Care Tip:\u003cbr data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2224\"\u003eSoak seeds in water for 24 hours.
