Diospyrus virginiana
The Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to North America, prized for its sweet, orange fruits and ornamental appeal. Growing 35-60 feet tall, it features dark green, glossy leaves that turn shades of yellow, orange, or red in autumn. In late spring, small, fragrant flowers appear, giving way to the flavorful, nutrient-rich fruits that ripen in late fall. The tree’s distinctive, deeply fissured bark adds winter interest. Persimmons thrive in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade and are popular for their edible fruits, wildlife value, and adaptability to various landscapes.
