Sunlight Full The Fire Crystal Persimmon is a treasure among fruit connoisseurs, radiating a ruby glow that beckons a taste of its luxurious sweetness. Known for its soft texture and honeyed flavor, this persimmon variety is astringent, meaning it can be enjoyed after softening into a succulent, pudding-like treat. Perfect for fresh snacking, bold salad additions, or divine desserts, the Fire Crystal Persimmon is a versatile gem for any kitchen.
The Fire Crystal Persimmon tree is a deciduous delight, showcasing a seasonal spectacle of vibrant foliage before winter’s rest. Growing to a manageable height of 12-15 feet, it’s an excellent fit for varying garden sizes, including urban spaces. Its striking leaves transition from deep green to autumnal shades of orange and red, and in spring, delicate white flowers add a splash of elegance. This tree is not only a bearer of delectable fruits but also an ornamental masterpiece for any landscape.

The tree’s branches become heavy with the weight of glossy, flame-colored fruits, providing a striking harvest from October to November. These persimmons offer a delightful contrast to the cooling weather, bringing warmth and vibrancy to your garden when many other fruits have long disappeared.

Embark on a unique Fruitscaping™ journey with our exquisite selection of Persimmon Trees. We offer both astringent and non-astringent varieties to cater to diverse taste preferences. While astringent persimmons are known for their high tannin content, making them best enjoyed when fully ripe, non-astringent persimmons can be savored crisp, like an apple, without the mouth-puckering sensation.
Persimmon trees are nature’s multi-taskers, adding visual allure, shade, and succulent fruits to your organic garden. They are remarkably resistant to diseases and pests, making them a low-maintenance yet high-reward addition to your Fruitscaping™ endeavors.
Persimmons thrive in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and prefer slightly acidic conditions. They flourish under full sun exposure, needing at least six hours of sunlight daily to yield a rich crop.
In the Fruitscaping™ design, persimmon trees offer striking ornamental value. Their lush foliage in summer and vibrant, orange-yellow fall colors create a spectacular display. Moreover, the bright orange fruits hanging on the tree after leaf drop offer a unique, decorative touch throughout the winter.
Persimmon trees also prove a fantastic choice for different gardening styles. Whether you choose to shape them into a magnificent espalier or let them grow naturally, they contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of your garden.
Immerse yourself in the rewarding journey of Fruitscaping™ with our Persimmon Trees. From planting and caring to harvesting and enjoying the sweet, honey-like flavor of your homegrown persimmons, each step is filled with delightful experiences. With our astringent and non-astringent varieties, discover the pleasure of growing and savoring your own persimmons.
