Description
Persimmon ‘Kaki’
These hardy self-fertile trees are little known in the UK but deserve to be much more widely grown. Ideal for a greenhouse conservatory or a hot sunny spot outdoors. Pick the fruit in late October and allow it to ripen to sweet perfection on a sunny windowsill. When fully ripe eat them fresh by spooning out the smooth custard-like flesh (it is sweet and delicious and tastes a little like a mango). They can also be used in desserts of breads or even dried. For planting and growing advice on all types of Persimmon plants read our persimmon-and-pomegranate-growing-guide. Ultimate height and spread in 20-50 years: Height: 8-12m (26-39ft). Spread: 4-8m (13-26ft).
