American Persimmon Tree – Diospyros virginiana Live Plant | 2–3+ Feet Tall | Native Fruit Tree | Bare Root | USDA Zones 5–9

Bring a beautiful native fruit tree to your garden with this American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) live plant. The current plants are approximately 2–3+ feet tall and are shipped bare root. During winter, the trees are shipped dormant without leaves, and a top trim may be necessary to fit the shipping box. American persimmon is valued for its distinctive dark, corrugated bark, attractive orange-red fall foliage, and flavorful fruit that develops a rich, sweet taste when fully ripe. The trees are male or female, but young plants are too immature to determine their sex, so a specific male or female tree cannot be selected.

💡 Care Tip: Plant your bare-root persimmon tree promptly after arrival in well-draining soil and water thoroughly.
