Growing Information

Zone Compatibility: The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree, scientifically known as Diospyros kaki 'Maekawa Jiro,' thrives in USDA hardiness zones 6-10. These trees thrive in regions with mild winters and warm summers.

Size: When mature, a Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree reaches a manageable height of 10-12 feet, making it perfect for small gardens or orchards. It's an ideal choice for those looking to add a fruit-bearing tree to limited spaces.

Chill Hours: This tree requires approximately 100-200 chill hours during the dormant season, where temperatures dip to 45°F (7°C) or lower. Adequate chill hours ensure healthy fruit development.

Planting: Select a well-drained location with full sun exposure for your Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree. Plant it in the spring or fall, providing ample space for its roots to spread and establish.

Pruning: Annual pruning is essential for maintaining the tree's shape, enhancing air circulation, and encouraging fruit production. Prune during the dormant season to promote healthy growth.

Watering: Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Trees appreciate consistent moisture, particularly during their early years. Water deeply and regularly, but avoid waterlogged soil, which can harm the roots.

Fruit Description

Flavor: The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon is celebrated for its delightful, sweet flavor profile. These fruits offer a harmonious blend of honey-like sweetness, subtle hints of vanilla, and a touch of floral notes. They are truly a culinary delight.

Texture: When perfectly ripe, Maekawa Jiro Persimmons boast a lusciously smooth and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. It's a textural experience that's unparalleled, making it a favorite among fruit enthusiasts.

Color: As they ripen, Maekawa Jiro Persimmons transform from a vibrant green to a striking, deep orange. This visual transition is not only aesthetically pleasing but also an indicator of their readiness for harvest.

Harvest Time: Typically, Maekawa Jiro Persimmons are ready for picking in late fall, around October to November. Harvest them when they have turned a rich orange hue and have a slightly soft feel.

Pollination: Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Trees are self-fruitful, meaning they can produce fruit without the need for another tree for pollination. However, planting multiple trees can enhance cross-pollination and potentially result in larger yields and more robust fruit.

The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree offers a delightful combination of beauty and flavor for your garden. With minimal care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of these exquisite fruits, making it a rewarding addition to any outdoor space. Elevate your gardening experience with the Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree and savor the sweet rewards year after year.
