Description
The persimmon bears bright orange fruits in late autumn that hang on the bare tree for a long time and decorate it. In mild wine-growing regions it is now winter-hardy enough for the garden, but at harsh sites it needs protection. Cultivars such as 'Tipo' ripen early enough to be harvested before the hard winter.
Care instructions
Plant the persimmon in a full-sun, wind-protected spot, ideally on a warm south-facing wall. Plant it in spring, April week 16, so that it establishes well over the summer. Harvest the fruits from October when they are deep orange, and let them ripen to full sweetness at room temperature.
