Persimmon

American persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) are a cold hardy, easy to maintain fruit tree well suited for cultivation in USDA zones 4-9. Fruit are 1-2'' in size, smaller than their Asian cousins. What they lack in size, the make up for in flavor. When fully ripe, the fruit have a jellylike consistency and sweet, complex flavor with notes of apricot and spices. Trees grow best in a full sun location and will reach 30' if not pruned. With some training and pruning, trees can be maintained at 15'. See this article for more information of persimmon cultivation, propagation and history.
