American Persimmon

American Persimmon produces round orange fruit that develops a rich, sweet flavor when fully ripe, making it a prized addition to edible landscapes. In spring, small flowers emerge among glossy green foliage, followed by fruit that persists into fall. The tree develops an attractive, rounded canopy that provides shade and strong ornamental presence throughout the year. As autumn arrives, the foliage transitions to warm shades of yellow and orange, adding seasonal color before leaf drop. Reaching about 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide at maturity, this native tree develops a broad, stately presence that works beautifully in orchards, wildlife gardens, and large landscape settings.
