Diospyros kaki ‘Fuyu’
Japanese Persimmon
Diospyros kaki ‘Fuyu’ is known as the “Fruit of the Gods,” as this ornamental tree dazzles with its vibrant deep orange leaves and offers more than just beauty—females produce sweet, non-astringent fruit. Both male and female trees are needed for pollination. Male flowers are smaller and grow in small clusters, while the larger female flowers appear individually. It’s known for its rich flavor and impressive shelf life, bearing fruit in 4 to 5 years, and thriving in warmer climates. The fruit ripens in late autumn to early winter, which the birds love. Diospyros kaki ‘Fuyu’ is native to Asia. Diospyros kaki has been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years; the fruit made its way to Japan in the 7th century and Korea by the 14th century.
