Description
The persimmon tree bears bright orange fruits in late autumn that hang on the bare branches for a long time, decorating the tree. In mild wine-growing regions it is now winter-hardy enough for the garden, but in harsher sites it needs protection. Varieties such as 'Tipo' ripen early enough to be harvested before the hard winter.
Care instructions
Plant the tree in a full-sun, wind-protected spot, ideally on a south-facing wall that provides warmth. Sow in spring (April, week 16) so it can establish well over the summer. Harvest the fruit from October when it is deep orange, and allow it to ripen to full sweetness at room temperature.
