A variation of the Fuyu persimmon, the Jiro Asian Persimmon is prized for its delicious flavor and attractive form. Some have likened the sweetness of the crisp fruits to a cantaloupe. The Fuyu Jiro persimmon is a non-astringent variety and has a beautiful deep orange skin that is firm and juicy. Fuyu Jiro has great flavor and is a high-quality fruit. Fall foliage is a brilliant orange-red and the showy, bright orange fruit remains on the bare stems well into winter. The Jiro persimmon tree bears abundant crops, is self-pollinating, and grows to 20 ft. in height and ripens mid to late October. It is hardy in USDA Zones 7-9 and is shipped in a #5 pot with an average tree height of 2 ft.
