{"product_id":"diospyros-kaki-izu-asian-persimmon","title":"Diospyros kaki 'Izu' (Asian Persimmon)","description":"The Izu Asian Persimmon is a compact, cold-hardy variety perfect for northern orchards. Growing to just 10 feet with pruning, this vigorous dwarf tree produces early-ripening, non-astringent fruit without the weakness typical of miniature cultivars. Hardy to 0°F and thriving in USDA Zone 7, Izu extends persimmon cultivation further north than most varieties. Self-fertile and disease-resistant, it requires minimal maintenance—no spraying needed. Plant in half-day to full sun with well-drained soil, and expect fruit production within 2-3 years, with harvest arriving in October.","brand":"Green Thumb Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"#10 - 4-5 ft \/ Summer 2026 \/ GTN ARH-R1","offer_id":48389383586043,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/6177\/4503\/files\/3hfvf94t.png?v=1772832252","url":"https:\/\/greenthumbwholesale.com\/products\/diospyros-kaki-izu-asian-persimmon","provider":"Green Thumb Nurseries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
