Diospyros kaki (Japanese Persimmon)

Long-lived and incredibly beautiful, Diospyros kaki (Japanese Persimmon) is a deciduous tree with a spreading crown clothed in glossy, dark green, oval leaves, 8 in. long (20 cm). They turn yellow, orange or reddish-purple in the fall, creating a glorious display. In spring, pale yellow, bell-shaped flowers are hidden by the half-grown leaves. They are followed, on female trees, by a profusion of edible, yellow or orange persimmon fruit, usually the size of a medium-sized tomato. The tree is a sight to behold when the leaves have fallen, displaying the bright fruits throughout the canopy. They attract wildlife and may persist on the tree for weeks, resembling Christmas ornaments. Generally, the flesh is bitter and astringent until fully ripe, when it becomes soft, sweet and pleasant. Valued for its fruit and attraction to wildlife, Japanese Persimmon is an excellent fruit tree for ornamental use and makes an excellent specimen.
