Izu Asian Persimmon

Izu Asian Persimmon

Izu Asian Persimmon is an excellent addition to the home orchard as the most dwarfing Asian Persimmon we’ve found, to about 10 feet or less with pruning, yet not lacking in vigor like many dwarf trees are. The Izu Persimmon ripens its fruit the earliest of any of the high quality Asian persimmons and is also non-astringent and of medium size. Also Izu is hardy to at least 0 degrees F. and will push the boundaries of how far north persimmons can be grown and ripened.

Hardy to 0 degrees F., Asian Persimmons are easy to grow in the Northwest and other regions of the U.S. with mild winters. Naturally compact, Izu Asian Persimmons rarely exceed 12ft. in height.
