USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 6-10
  • Requires 100-200 chill hours, ideal for regions with mild winters 🌞

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree is self-pollinating, so it doesn’t require another tree for fruit production. However, planting other persimmon varieties nearby can increase yield and enhance fruit size.
  • Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, pairing it with varieties like Fuyu or Eureka will improve pollination and lead to a larger, more abundant harvest.
  • Fruit Description: The fruit is large and squat with a vibrant orange color and a firm, crisp texture that remains intact even when fully ripe.
  • Taste: These persimmons are famous for their sweetness and mild flavor, offering a delightfully tender flesh with a subtle tropical finish.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in mid to late fall, typically from October to November, providing a sweet, late-season treat.

How to Plant & Grow Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day ensures healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5) with organic material to encourage healthy growth and fruiting.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and room for the tree to grow.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree typically grows to a height of 12-18 feet, making it perfect for smaller gardens or larger orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a sunny location with well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Amend with compost or organic material to improve fertility and texture.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to ensure proper root establishment and expansion.
  • 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 to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth around the base of the tree.

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 the tree annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape it for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote strong root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to support fruiting.
  • Protection πŸ›‘οΈ: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather πŸŒ³πŸ›‘οΈ.
