Fuyu semi dwarf persimmon
Fuyu semi dwarf persimmon grows to a smaller tree, reaching maybe 2 – 2.5 metres. Large, slightly flattened fruits, dark orange – red coloured skin, non astringent fruits are good and edible when still hard and crisp, but then gains even more flavour as it softens to a soft jam like texture – ripens late in season, about the middle of May, and stores well, does well in cold or hot climate, hardy tree, practically pest free, only needs 250 hours winter chilling so will suit subtropics as well as temperate areas

Jiro dwarf persimmon
Jiro dwarf persimmon is a new offering for us this year. It has been grown in the nursery as a potted tree, and we send it with the potting soil still partially surrounding the roots....in a sort of semi bare rooted state. The Jiro dwarf persimmon is a fully dwarfed persimmon at maturity, reaching to around 2 metres, with fine flavour, and good cropping potential. Jiro dwarf persimmon is a non astringent variety, which can be eaten when still crisp and crunchy, or left to mature to a soft texture and eaten late. Dwarf persimmons will grow well in large pots or smallish garden beds, and are very easily kept pruned to a desired shape and size. Jiro dwarf persimmon is a good option for plantings that have to be made close to houses, as neither roots nor branches will become too invasive
