## Description

A very sweet tasting fruit and an elegant ornamental, small tree with good autumn coloration and excellent food source for birds during winter, as the tree holds the fruits on the branches for a long time. Its fragrant flowers appear among the large, leathery, entire leaves. It starts to produce fruit from around the age of 6, but it is dioecious, so you may consider to order 2 or 3 plants to get a great chance to have both sexes (we have another listing for 3 plants). Fruits grow to tomato size. Other common names: American persimmon, Common Persimmon, Sugarplum, Possumwood Native to: S-USA: New England, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Luisiana Family: Ebenaceae (Ebony Family) Habit (UK conditions): small, sometimes multistemmed, deciduous tree Max. size in 10 years: 10m x 3m Main value: edible fruits, fragrant flowers Flower colour: yellow (not significant) Flowering period: May Autumn coloration: yellow-orange Preferences: wide range of soils, full sun (drought tolerant) Hardiness: hardy to around -10C Is it toxic? no Is it edible? yes, fruits are edible

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should these trees be able to thrive and produce fruit in Ireland? Also I believe the American persimmon tree is extremely large when fully mature?**
A: I believe they will thrive in Southern Scotland but no idea about Ireland, At present my 'trees' are only a few inches high, so I cannot tell you about the finished height.
