The history of persimmon trees traces back centuries, originating in East Asia and spreading its influence across different cultures due to its remarkable taste and diverse applications.
Historical Roots:
Persimmons, belonging to the genus Diospyros, have an extensive history primarily rooted in East Asia, particularly China and Japan. Records suggest their cultivation dates back thousands of years, with the fruit being revered for its taste, versatility, and medicinal properties.
Cultural Significance:
In Japan, persimmons hold cultural significance and are often associated with autumn. They're used in traditional celebrations and as offerings at festivals due to their vibrant color and symbolism of prosperity. In China, they're linked to longevity and good fortune, making appearances in artwork and ceremonies.
Spread to the West:
Persimmons eventually found their way to the West, introduced to Europe and the Americas through trade routes. While Asian varieties like Diospyros kaki gained popularity, indigenous American persimmon species (Diospyros virginiana) were also widely cultivated by Native American tribes.
Culinary Uses:
Persimmons offer a spectrum of culinary applications owing to their unique flavors and textures:
Fresh Consumption: Ripe persimmons, particularly the Fuyu variety, are enjoyed fresh. Their sweet, honey-like taste and juicy texture make them delightful for snacking or incorporating into fruit salads.
Baking and Desserts: Persimmons are popular ingredients in baking, lending their sweetness to pies, cakes, bread, and cookies. They add moisture and a unique flavor to baked goods, creating a delectable treat.
Preserves and Jams: Their high pectin content makes persimmons ideal for making jams, jellies, and preserves. These applications capture their sweet essence and extend their use throughout the year.
Savory Dishes: In addition to their sweet applications, persimmons are utilized in savory dishes, including salads, salsas, and chutneys. Their sweet-tart profile complements meats, cheeses, and greens.
Traditional Uses: In East Asian cuisines, dried persimmons are a popular delicacy, offering a chewy, concentrated sweetness. They're often used in teas, desserts, and traditional medicines.
Nutritional Value:
Persimmons boast nutritional benefits, containing vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and minerals like potassium and manganese. They are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
From their rich historical roots in East Asia to their diverse culinary uses worldwide, persimmons have evolved into a fruit cherished for its unique taste and versatility in the kitchen. Whether fresh, dried, or incorporated into various dishes, persimmons continue to captivate taste buds and add a touch of sweetness to a wide array of cuisines and cultural traditions.
There are two types of persimmon fruit: astringent and non-astringent. The acorn shaped Hachiya is an example of the astringent type and must be eaten when it is soft or else it is far from tasty. The non-astringent type, like Fuyu, can be eaten when they are still firm because they do not contain the high levels of tannic acid the astringent types do. Beautiful tree in late fall when fruit hangs on trees after leaves have fallen. Striking, dark green leaves turn shades of yellow, orange, and red. The trees are 1-2 years old and should begin fruiting in their 3rd year. Be careful not to overwater the tree or it could delay its leafing out. Browse all our persimmon trees for sale.

Planting & Care
When planting Persimmons, it is important to remember that persimmons are not water loving plants. After the tree is planted it should be watered in with a good soaking to remove air pockets in the soil and then left alone. The plant shouldn’t be watered again until the buds start to break. Excessive watering is the primary cause of failure in bare root Persimmons. They will benefit from periodic wetting of the trunk, however, to help against desiccation. Suggested spacing is 20 feet apart.

Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee
* Claim deadline is June 15th
We guarantee that your dormant tree or plant will arrive in good, viable condition. If your tree arrives in substandard condition, notify us within 3 days of delivery. Please email pictures of the box, inside packaging, the tree and its roots to helpdesk@groworganic.com. We will investigate your claim and process a request to exchange or refund the damaged product.
If your dormant tree or plant has not grown new leaves by June 15th, you may be eligible for our Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee. This guarantee provides for a store credit for the purchase price of the tree, excluding shipping. Please see the Instructions below.
Important Dates:
- April 1st Dormant trees/plants must be planted in the ground
- May 15th Perform scratch test, if no new leaves have grown
- June 15th Deadline to apply for a dormant tree/plant credit
All required documentation must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. Claims or documentation received after June 15th will be denied, without exception. Instructions listed below
Terms and Conditions
We cannot guarantee that your tree or plant will remain alive and healthy after it is received, or bear fruit as there are too many variables in your environment that are beyond our control (i.e. soil preparation, weed and pest control, proper irrigation, chill hours, compatible hardiness for your growing zone, proper choice of pollinator, extreme weather, rodent damage, disease, etc.).
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a replacement tree/plant of the same species either that same growing season or in future years. Customers are responsible for all shipping fees associated with replacement trees and plants.
If we determine that the tree you purchased directly from us is not viable, we will issue you a store credit (not a refund) for the purchase price of the affected dormant tree or plant. Shipping is not included in the dormant tree/plant guarantee. Store credits can be used to purchase any product we sell and are valid for use only until July 1st of the following year.
Historically, 98% of our dormant trees and plants grow and thrive when they have been cared for and planted using our growing guides. Dormant trees and plants must be planted in the ground by April 1st in order to be eligible for credit. If the ground in your area is still frozen solid, you may temporarily plant your tree or plant in a pot.
Potted, non-dormant trees or plants are excluded from this guarantee as they are not dormant at the time of shipment. Evergreen trees such as citrus, avocado and olive trees are not available for credit under the Dormant Tree and Plant Guarantee.
Instructions
We guarantee that your dormant fruit tree or plant will leaf out, if you care for it according to our growing guides. In the unlikely event that your dormant tree or plant does not have leaves by May 15th, follow these simple steps to apply for a store credit:
Before you call or email, please perform a “scratch test” to determine if the tree or plant is still alive. This video shows how to check for live tissue under the bark. Scratch tests need to be done a few inches above and below the graft.
Green Cambium Layer / Living Trees
If the cambium layer under the bark is green, give your tree a little more time. It is still alive, but hasn’t come out of dormancy yet. Check to make sure that it is getting the right amount of deep root water, enough sunlight and that the weather is warm enough for that type of tree/plant to come out of dormancy. Every tree has its own personality and will come out of dormancy at different times. Be sure to submit the required documentation listed below by June 15th, if it doesn’t grow leaves.
Brown Cambium Layer / Dead Trees
If the scratch test shows a brown cambium layer or if your dormant tree/plant doesn’t have leaves by June 1st, please email us at helpdesk@groworganic.com. All required documentation listed below must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. To be considered for the guarantee claim, all required documentation must be received by June 15th. Incomplete submissions will be denied.
Required Documentation
- Order number
- Name of dormant tree/plant and the quantity affected
- Photos of each tree or plant showing:
- The roots (tree or plant must be pulled out of the ground)
- The scratch test areas
- The entire tree/plant
We reserve the right to not issue credit for items that have already been replaced. We also reserve the right to require photographic evidence that the tree/plant was not killed by root rot, rodent or mechanical damage.
