A compact growing Persimmon ideal for smaller gardens, Persimmon Jiro (Diospyros kaki) produces heavy crops of sweet, crisp fruit with rich orange skin and mild, honey-like flavour.
This variety is non-astringent, meaning the fruit can be eaten while still firm—perfect for fresh eating, salads, or drying. The tree has an attractive upright form and offers lovely autumn foliage in shades of gold and orange.
Plant in a full sun position in well-fertilised, free-draining soil. As with all fruiting trees, regular pruning, feeding, and consistent watering—especially during the warmer months—will help ensure a healthy tree and a generous crop.
