Fuyu Persimmon Tree | Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu'

Enjoy sweet, seedless fruit right from your backyard with the Fuyu Persimmon Tree—one of the most popular and easiest-to-grow non-astringent persimmons available. Unlike astringent types, Fuyus can be eaten crisp like an apple or allowed to soften for traditional use.

Fuyu persimmons are self-pollinating, low-maintenance, and beautifully ornamental. With glossy green leaves that turn vibrant orange-red in fall and branches that hold bright orange fruit well into winter, this tree is as decorative as it is productive.

Perfect for home orchards, edible landscapes, or even large containers, this tree rewards growers with delicious fruit and easy care year after year.
