- How do I eat a Persimmon fruit? There’s three ways. I suppose. It depends on how polite you want to look :)
Three ways how I eat Persimmon fruit: segment it, peel it or mush it into you face! ;)

************************************************************
Nikita’s Gift, Hybrid Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana x kaki)
Self-fertile, grow in zones 5-9 and grows up to 10-12 feet tall.
Fruit: astringent (pick when soft), round fruit, and with seeds.
Wase Fuyu "Matsumoto", Asian Persimmon (Diospyros kaki)
Self-fertile, grow in zones 6-9 and grows up to 10-12 feet tall.
Fruit: non-astringent, large round fruit, and with seeds (and sometimes, NO seeds). High sugar content.
Rosseyanka, Hybrid Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana x kaki)
Self-fertile, grow in zones 5-8 and grows up to 15-25+ feet tall.

A classic and very popular Japanese variety, Saijo Asian Persimmon is one of our favorites.

PERSIMMON TREE
the Persimmon tree is native to North America, and grows very well in zone 7. the Persimmon tree is a forgiving, versatile and low maintenance fruit tree. it grows in Zone 4 to 9 (NOT all persimmon varieties grow in chilly-willy, zone 4). its long taproot makes it good for erosion control. some varieties are more visually appealing - the Nakitas Gift is a short stocky tree with beautiful shinny dark green leaves. on the other hand, our Wase Fuyu (Matsumoto) Persimmon grows … kind of funky and small and gangly but produced about 60 blooms at only 3-4 years old (we picked-off all but 5 blooms).
the fruit’s nutritional value is OUTSTANDING. according to one NIH article: "Persimmon is naturally bestowed with bioactive molecules including proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic, carotenoids, dietary fiber, and etc. Persimmon leaves and fruit have imperative significance for coronary health because of hypocholesterolemic, anti-atherosclerosis and antioxidant perspectives...."
there are many varieties of Persimmon trees. American native and American cultivars (Diospyros virginiana); Asian cultivars (Diospyros kaki) and hybrid crosses between the American and Asian cultivars (Diospyros virginiana x kaki). hybrids allow us to select the Persimmon tree with the best range of traits (flavor, fruit size, tree size, astringency [astringent or non- astringent], seedless, self-fertile, etc.).

in 2017 I started planting on a 2 acre abandoned property. We’re located only 10 miles south of the US Capitol but are surrounded by several hundred acres of forest and very few homes. Our urban garden design, landscape architecture and permaculture techniques incorporate fruiting trees, fruiting shrubs, edible ground cover, edible flowers, and herbs and medicinal plants that will provide food for generations. It’s a long and slow ‘haul’ as we adapt, learn new things, and are (usually ;) enjoying the process.

swing by anytime but keep expectations low ;). i'm really good at editing and picking my background ;)
it's all a work in progress; more and more plants get into the ground but as you know, trees and shrubs take time....
thanks for stopping by, Nathan & Carol!
@heppylifestyle Were planning a car trip to DC mid November. I'll touch base with you then. We live in Wilmington, NC.
Thanks so much for the great videos about persimmons!!! I would love to get a scion from the Matsumoto and the Nikita from you. We have a large garden in Wilmington, NC.
NC -- nice neck of the woods! Lil' warmer!
we pick & ship scion fresh off the tree in Jan-Mar, maybe into April (can't remember; i just go by the weather ;).
the Matsumoto is weird; planted in 2016 it was sickly looking for years, then woke up! but she barely grows....
Nikita is $. reliable and stellar fruit. hit me in Jan-Mar -- usc333@gmail.com.
anywho, thanks for stopping by and good luck with ur garden!
Those persimmons not as good as wild Appalachians persimmons and you do eat the skins.
