American Persimmon Tree Size, Zones and Sun

American persimmons grow 30–80 feet tall with a 20–35 foot spread, and are hardy in zones 4 - 9. It does best in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, and tolerates poor, dry soils once established.

Persimmon Tree Flowers and Fruit

Fragrant white to greenish-yellow flowers open in May and June. Persimmon trees typically come in distinct male and female varieties, and only females bear fruit, so plant both. The round fruit is 1 to 1½ inches across, yellow to pale orange, and ripens from fall into winter. It is astringent until fully soft, then sweet. Birds, deer, raccoons and other wildlife eat it.

Before You Plant a Persimmon Tree

Mature persimmon trees send up root suckers, and dropped fruit can be messy, so keep them away from walkways and patios. A deep taproot makes older trees hard to move, so plant young bare-root trees where they will stay. Autumn foliage shifts to vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red.
