Imoto Fuyu Asian Persimmon is a selection that came from the late Mike Imoto of Lindsay, California. Imoto Fuyu is very similar to Jiro persimmons except that the fruit is a little larger and ripens 7-10 days earlier, making it a good choice for cooler climates.
Izu 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.
Valuable as a pollinator for our American Persimmon varieties, our Male 1-85 American Persimmon variety is also a very attractive tree in its own right. Male Persimmons do not bear fruit.
