Description

Common Persimmon
Description Common persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), also known as American or eastern persimmon and sugar plum, is a small deciduous tree. Persimmon is best known for its sweet, orange fruit in autumn. When ripe, the fruit is considered to be like a date. It has yellow, bell-shaped flowers and large oval leaves. Its bark has a unique thick blocky pattern. The tree attracts many types of wildlife from birds to pollinators to mammals.

To produce fruit, you’ll need both a male and a female plant. Since these seedlings are grown from seed, we’re not able to determine their sex ahead of time. Each seedling has roughly an equal chance of being male or female.
