Fuyu Persimmon Tree

The Fuyu Persimmon Tree typically grows 15–20 feet tall and wide at maturity.

This tree has a moderate growth rate, usually adding about 1–2 feet per year under ideal conditions.

Plant it in a full-sun location with well-draining soil, such as an open yard or orchard space with good air circulation.

No, the Fuyu Persimmon Tree is self-fertile and does not require a second tree for pollination.

Fruit typically ripens in fall, usually from October through November, depending on climate.

Yes, Fuyu persimmons are non-astringent and can be eaten while firm, unlike some other persimmon varieties.

Most Fuyu Persimmon Trees begin producing fruit within 2–4 years after planting, depending on tree size at purchase and growing conditions.

No, pruning needs are minimal. Occasional dormant pruning in late winter helps maintain structure and remove dead or crossing branches.

Once established, the Fuyu Persimmon Tree is moderately drought tolerant. However, regular watering during extended dry periods helps support healthy growth and better fruit quality.

The best time to plant a Fuyu Persimmon Tree is in early spring or fall when temperatures are mild. Planting during these seasons allows the roots to establish before extreme summer heat or winter cold.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
