The persimmon, also known as Kaki, Figue caque, Persimmon (in English), or Japanese Persimmon, is a majestic fruit tree native to Asia. It has been cultivated for millennia for its fleshy, sweet orange fruits. With its fiery foliage in autumn and its fruits hanging on bare branches in winter, it is also a very ornamental tree.
This deciduous species can reach 6 to 10 meters in height and is distinguished by its orange foliage in autumn and its orange fruits at maturity. Very ornamental, the persimmon is also appreciated for its hardiness and relatively easy cultivation. It can also be grown as a bonsai.
🌿 Usage:
The persimmon is a delicious edible fruit that can be eaten fresh, dried, or made into jam, jelly, or fruit paste. Some varieties must be fully ripe to lose their astringency.
🌱 Planting tips:
Cold stratification recommended: place the seeds in a moist mixture in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 months before sowing.
Sowing in pots in spring, at a temperature of 20-25°C, in a light and well-drained substrate. Germination between 4 to 8 weeks.
Transplanting into open ground after the last frosts, in a sunny location.
Regular watering during the first years, then spaced out: the persimmon tolerates drought once well rooted.
The tree can be associated with the fig tree, pomegranate, or almond tree, in a nourishing garden or family orchard.
The persimmon tree symbolizes wisdom, patience, and prosperity in many Asian cultures. It is often planted in gardens for its longevity and the generosity of its fruits.
Symbol of softness, delicacy, and rustic elegance, the hare's tail evokes Mediterranean landscapes, lightness, and serenity. It also embodies a form of precious simplicity, often sought after in minimalist floral art.

I grew these for the first time last year and they are fantastic. Good for general use and equally good for cooked dishes. Wonderful dark red flesh which is very tasty.
