Description: I just foraged these seeds from an American or Common persimmon tree (Diospyros virginiana) in Maryland. It is a cold hardy plant, found in zones 4-9. When ripe, the fruit of this wild persimmon is very sweet, and taste is reminiscent of the flavor of dates. Wild persimmons are a totally organic fall food source for birds and mammals--like deer and people fortunate enough to find them! These wild persimmon trees are dioecious, meaning you need both male and female trees in order to get fruit. The persimmon flowers in spring to early summer and produces fruits in the fall. Growing zones: 4-9Soil type: Adapts well to most soilspH: 5.5-7.0Sun: Full sunPollination: Recommended to plant at least 5-10 trees to ensure pollination. Each packet contains 20 hand picked seeds.
