Description

Grow your own beautiful Date Plum Persimmon tree with premium Diospyros lotus seeds. Native to parts of Europe and Asia, the Date Plum Persimmon is a hardy deciduous tree valued for its glossy green foliage, ornamental appearance, and small edible fruits that develop a rich, sweet flavor after ripening. This attractive tree is an excellent choice for home orchards, wildlife plantings, and landscape projects, providing seasonal beauty from spring through fall.

Date Plum Persimmon trees are adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils and thrive in full sun. Mature trees produce fragrant spring flowers followed by small, dark purple to nearly black fruits that are enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in preserves.
