Arborist Thoughts
Persimmon is a great native tree that can perform well in the toughest sites. It is drought tolerant and will thrive in soils with low fertility and areas with restricted root zones.
Produces a large edible berry that ripens late September through October (although flavor is best after the first hard frost).
Good tree for reliable yellow to red Fall color.
Could be used as a specimen tree, street tree or in the edible landscape.
