Diospyros kaki 'Jiro' ~ Jiro Japanese Persimmon steward-bats 3-inch deep fuschia pink flowersThe Jiro Japanese Persimmon is a delightful fruiting tree known for its large non astringent sweet fruits that ripen to vibrant orange in late fall. It's important to allow the fruit to fully ripen on the tree before harvesting for the best flavor. Grows best with full sun and moist well drained soils. Jiro is self pollinating, though cross pollination can increase yield. Also sold as 'Fuyu Jiro'. Type: Tree Origins: North India, Burma, and China
