Persimmon 'Jiro'

Bite into the succulent sweetness of Diospyros kaki 'Jiro', a striking Japanese persimmon tree that marries ornamental charm with deliciously crisp fruit and vibrant autumn colour.This self-fertile deciduous tree produces plentiful, large, bright orange fruits from October to December. The fruits are non-astringent and perfectly sweet even when firm, ideal for eating straight from the tree or slicing into salads and desserts. Glossy green foliage turns glorious shades of gold, orange and red in autumn, and the handsome canopy often retains its fruit after the leaves fall, bringing winter interest to your garden or patio. Loved for its manageable size and reliable cropping, ‘Jiro’ offers low-maintenance appeal and year-round beauty. Ultimate height and spread: 3.5m (11.5ft) to 4.5m (15ft).
