Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu' ~ Fuyu Japanese Persimmon
Fuyu Japanese Persimmon is a small deciduous tree with a rounded crown and drooping outer branches primarily grown for its fruit. The oblong leaves emerge yellow-green, mature to a glossy dark green, and becomes an attractive yellow-orange or red in fall. The flowers are mostly hidden by the foliage but are mildly fragrant, with female flowers being white and soft pink male flowers clusters in spring attracting butterflies. Large edible non-astringent sweet fruits tasting like mild cantaloupe mature to bright orange in fall and can persist into winter. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Fuyu is self-pollinating but sets fruit better with another cultivar.
