Matsumoto Persimmon Tree – Non-Astringent, Sweet Persimmons for Gourmet Dishes 🍊🌳

The Matsumoto Persimmon Tree is a stunning variety that produces non-astringent fruit with a delicate sweetness and refreshing texture, making it perfect for both fresh eating and cooking. Known for its vibrant orange color and crunchy, apple-like texture, the Matsumoto persimmons are ideal for creating elegant desserts or adding a touch of flavor to savory dishes. The tree is self-pollinating, so you can enjoy a high yield with just one tree, although planting additional varieties will further increase the size and consistency of your harvest. Whether you're baking persimmon cakes or adding them to salads, the Matsumoto Persimmon Tree offers chemical-free fruit year after year, with minimal care required.


USDA Growing Zones and Chill Hours

  • Thrives in USDA Zones 7-10
  • Requires 100-200 chill hours, making it ideal for regions with mild winters 🌞

Pollination & Fruit Production

  • Pollination: The Matsumoto Persimmon Tree is self-pollinating, meaning it will produce fruit with just one tree. However, planting multiple trees will improve fruit size and yield.
  • Recommended Varieties: While the Matsumoto tree is self-pollinating, planting other varieties nearby will improve pollination and result in a more abundant harvest.
  • Fruit Description: The Matsumoto persimmons are large, squat-shaped with a vibrant orange color and a firm, crunchy texture that softens slightly when fully ripe.
  • Taste: These persimmons are known for their mildly sweet flavor, with a hint of honey and a refreshing bite that makes them perfect for eating fresh or using in culinary applications.
  • Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late fall, typically from October to November, offering a sweet, late-season harvest.

How to Plant & Grow Matsumoto Persimmon Trees

  • Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is essential for healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
  • Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.5) with plenty of organic material to encourage healthy root development and fruiting.
  • Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to ensure ample room for healthy growth and good air circulation around the tree.
  • Mature Size 🌳: The Matsumoto Persimmon Tree typically reaches a height of 15-20 feet, making it ideal for small orchards or large garden spaces.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

  • 1️⃣ Prepare the Soil πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ: Choose a sunny location with slightly acidic soil. Amend with compost to improve soil fertility and ensure good drainage.
  • 2️⃣ Dig a Hole πŸ•³οΈ: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to provide ample space for the roots to establish.
  • 3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
  • 4️⃣ Backfill & Water πŸ’§: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
  • 5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base to retain moisture and prevent weed competition.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

  • Watering πŸ’§: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning βœ‚οΈ: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
  • Fertilizing πŸƒ: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to encourage healthy root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to promote fruiting.
  • 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, crisp persimmons 🍊 with a smooth texture and delicate honey-like flavor, ideal for gourmet applications.
