Diospyros kaki 'Phoenix' (Asian Persimmon)

Phoenix Persimmon is a superior early-maturing Korean variety known for its abundant harvests of large, sweet, and flavorful bright orange fruit. Its early ripening makes it ideal for cooler summer regions such as the West Coast or northern areas with brief growing seasons. The fruit is astringent until soft and tender, similar to a tomato, and offers striking fall foliage. Highly valued across Asia, persimmons are enjoyed fresh or in desserts. This variety is self-fertile, ensuring reliable fruit production.
