The Crown Jewel

300–400 Pounds Every Fall

This is not a decorative tree. Every autumn, this mature persimmon delivers a staggering harvest of sweet, honey-toned Hachiya fruit — so much that you'll be giving bags of it to neighbours, friends, and anyone lucky enough to visit. Wide-spreading, deeply rooted, and magnificent in season. You will never buy persimmons again.

  • 300–400 lbs of fruit harvested every fall
  • Mature, established tree — years of growth already done
  • Wide canopy provides natural shade all summer long
  • Neighbours stop and ask about it every single year
