Diospyros kaki 'Saijo' (Asian Persimmon)

Saijo Persimmon is beautiful and flavorful. In late fall, the upright, rounded tree adds beauty to the landscape when its green foliage turns brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and red. The conical orange fruit has a sweet, yellow flesh with few-to-no seeds making it perfect for fresh eating. Also great for drying, baking, and freezing. Fruit is astringent until fully ripe and soft. Ripens in late September to early October.
