American Persimmon Tree Pack of 2 – Diospyros Virginiana Edible Fruit Trees – NOT SHIP AK, CA, HI

American Persimmon Tree: Fruit of the Gods for Your Garden

Indulge in the unparalleled taste of homegrown persimmons with this American Persimmon Tree pack. This offer includes two trees, giving you a head start on a bountiful harvest. Known for their exquisite flavor that intensifies as the fruit ripens, imagine the sweet, rich taste of fully ripened persimmons picked fresh from your own trees! These deciduous trees typically reach heights of 30-50 feet, creating a beautiful landscape feature while providing delicious fruit.

For optimal fruiting, planting multiple American Persimmon Trees is highly recommended, as they benefit significantly from cross-pollination. While the exact sex of each tree cannot be guaranteed, planting two greatly increases the likelihood of successful fruit production. These trees are field-grown and are best planted directly in the ground rather than in pots, allowing them to establish robust root systems for long-term health and productivity.

These American Persimmon Trees are remarkably easy to grow, and detailed instructions are included to ensure your success. They thrive across a wide range of climates, specifically USDA growing zones 3-8, and prefer full sun exposure for optimal growth and fruit development. Your trees will arrive in a dormant state, meaning without leaves, and bare root, ready for immediate planting upon arrival. Please note that due to agricultural restrictions, we are unable to ship these plants to Alaska, California, or Hawaii.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How far apart should I plant my American Persimmon Trees for optimal pollination? It’s recommended to have another persimmon tree within a mile radius for effective pollination, though closer proximity can increase chances.

How long does it take for a persimmon tree to produce fruit? Generally, persimmon trees start producing fruit within 3-7 years after planting, depending on growing conditions and tree maturity.

How do I know when my persimmons are ripe and ready to eat? Persimmons are ripe when they are very soft to the touch, almost to the point of being overripe, and their color will deepen significantly. They should feel like a water balloon.
