The Hachiya Persimmon Tree is one of the easiest fruit trees to grow and for good reason!
Hachiya persimmon fruit is super sweet, easy to pick right off the tree, and perfect for incorporating into baked goods or canning.
Like its cousin, the Fuyu Persimmon, the color of the Hachiya fruit can range in shades of light orange to burnt amber. The deep orange fruit has a large size and is acorn-shaped.
Ripe Hachiya persimmon taste can be described as very sweet with hints of apple, apricot, and citrus. Hachiya is an astringent persimmon variety which means it's best to eat the fruit once it has softened on or off the Diospyros kaki 'Hachiya' tree. Harvest in late outlets fall from October to December for a bountiful harvest.
The Oriental persimmon tree is highly productive and also has excellent fall foliage making it a gem in the garden! The bright green leaves will turn to shades of yellow and orange when temperatures start to dip in the fall. The fall colors make this a wonderful addition to home gardens!
Hachiya Persimmon Tree Care:
The Hachiya persimmon tree height can reach up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide at maturity once planted in the ground. They have a moderate growth rate of 1-1.5 feet per year. We recommend pruning in late winter after fruiting has finished to maintain a desirable size and shape.
The best location to grow Hachiya persimmon trees is zones 7-10 across the United States. They need at least 200 chill hours, which is fairly low and makes them perfect for Southern climates. The hotter the summer, the sweeter your fruit will taste.
Full sun is required to make this fruit tree happy. At least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight will help with fruit production. The tree will begin to bear fruit after 1-3 years of being planted.
Hachiya persimmons are self-pollinating, meaning they don't need another tree nearby to cross-pollinate. Being this beautiful tree can stay small and compact, it is perfect for home gardens or small spaces!
