Diospyros virginiana is a persimmon species commonly called the American persimmon, common persimmon, eastern persimmon, simmon, possumwood, possum apples, or sugar plum.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\nThe fruit has a rich, nutty, amaretto flavor, but is astringent until completely ripe.<\/p>\n

The ripe fruit is used in traditional recipes for jam, cookies, cakes and custards.<\/p>\n

It has a black corrugated bark that looks like alligator hide, and its foliage is orange-red in the fall.<\/p>\n

The nectar from flowers provide a significant food resource for pollinator species like bees.<\/p>\n

This native species is a quintessential part of any food plot.<\/p>\n

Trees are either male or female, so you should plant 3-10 trees in a block, to ensure pollination unless you have other persimmon in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00a0cannot\u00a0send specifically Male or Female as they are too young to determine the sex of each tree at this stage.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nAmerican Persimmons will bear fruit in 6-8 years.<\/p>\n

Plants shipped are approx 6″-10+” Tall in 3″ pot.<\/p>\n

Cold hardy to USDA plant zones 5-9.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
