Korean Persimmon Tree – Rich, Astringent Fruit for Gourmet Recipes 🍊🌳

The Korean Persimmon Tree produces large, flavorful persimmons that are known for their exceptionally rich, astringent taste before they ripen. Once fully ripe, the astringency transforms into a creamy, honeyed sweetness with deep, complex flavor notes that are perfect for both savory and sweet dishes. The fruit is vibrant orange and round, with a firm, smooth texture when ripe, ideal for baking, preserving, or simply enjoying fresh. This tree thrives in a variety of climates and offers chemical-free fruit with minimal care requirements. Whether you are using the persimmons in gourmet recipes, making jams, or enjoying them fresh, the Korean Persimmon Tree will provide you with a high-quality harvest year after year.


USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 8-10
  • Requires minimal chill hours, making it ideal for mild climates ❄️

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Korean Persimmon Tree is self-pollinating, so it will produce fruit from just one tree. Planting multiple trees will enhance fruit yield and quality.
  • Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, pairing it with varieties like Fuyu or Hachiya will improve pollination and increase overall fruit size and yield.
  • Fruit Description: The fruit is round and vibrant orange, with a firm texture that ripens into a smooth, custard-like consistency once the astringency fades.
  • Taste: These persimmons are known for their luxurious honeyed sweetness that develops as the fruit ripens, making them perfect for both sweet and savory applications.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late fall, typically from October to November, providing a late-season treat of sweet persimmons.

How to Plant & Grow Korean Persimmon Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day ensures healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil (pH 6.0-7.5) with rich organic material for optimal growth and fruiting.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 15-20 feet apart to allow ample room for growth and proper air circulation.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Korean Persimmon Tree typically grows to a height of 15-20 feet, making it ideal for both backyard gardens and larger orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Select a sunny location with well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Amend with compost or organic material to improve fertility and ensure optimal moisture retention.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to ensure proper root development.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote healthy root growth. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to encourage fruit production.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.

Ripening Time, Taste & Uses

  • Ripens in late fall, typically from October to November.
  • Sweet, honey-like persimmons 🍊 with a smooth texture and a complex, tropical flavor that becomes softer as the fruit ripens.
  • Great for eating fresh, making persimmon tarts, baking cakes, or adding to savory dishes like persimmon-glazed pork 🍊🍯.
