PERSIMMON – Hyakumo – JFT Nurseries

DESCRIPTION:

Large round orange skinned fruit, juicy and sweet when fully ripe and softened.

MATURITY:

Mid June (Mid season)

SUGGESTED POLLINATORS:

Dai Dai Maru

COMMENTS:

Used fresh, and for cooking. This is a good astringent home garden variety but unlike other persimmons this variety does require pollination. Prune back old growth each year, as fruit is borne on new growth. This variety is more suitable in cooler climates.

TREE CARE:

Plant in a sunny position with well drained and well worked soil. Take care to plant the bud union above the soil level. Water in well and keep soil moist until tree is established. Fertilise when planting and again after new growth appears. Prune tree when planting to encourage new growth.
