Description
American Seedling Persimmon is a striking fruit tree that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, offering both ornamental beauty and delicious harvests. This multi-stemmed tree has a rounded, open habit and requires both male and female trees for fruit production. The bright orange persimmons ripen from late summer to early fall, boasting a sweet flavor perfect for fresh eating or preserves.
With glossy dark green leaves that transition to brilliant orange in autumn, American Seedling Persimmon provides year-round interest. The tree’s abundant fruit adds a decorative touch but may require occasional clean-up if left to drop.
