Weeping Persimmon Tree

The flavor of the Dioporus kaki 'Pendula' persimmon has been refined for many decades by private Japanese horticulturalists to perfect a taste that is unequaled for smoothness with a balance or aromatic juices that define this outstanding persimmon. The ideal height of this Weeping persimmon is around 6 feet, and whereas, many other Japanese persimmon trees are weeping fruit trees when loaded with fruit, the Weeping persimmon tree should be staked when initially planted, so that it does not develop into a bush, because of the impotent fiber nature of the expanding twig cells that causes the branches to grow downwards. To solve this problem the tree may be purchased when already staked at the desirable 6 foot height or the gardener can stake his own tree as it grows to the 6 foot height. The Weeping Japanese persimmon is cold hardy as far North as USDA climate zone of 7, and even though the hen-egg size is much smaller than most other grafted persimmons, the flavor of the Weeping persimmon will keep you eating more of them until your appetite is satisfied. These egg-shaped oval persimmons grow in large clusters and begin ripening in late October, and the trees are very well adapted to grow in most varieties of soil profiles, and the trees are resistant to nematodes, since they are grafted onto a native American persimmon rootstock.

Pruning Information: Pruning may be required on Persimmon trees constituting eight feet or more in size so as to comport with UPS Shipping requirements. For this reason, the Persimmon tree(s) you receive may not be the actual height you ordered due to it being pruned up to one third of the total size immediately prior to shipping unless you have made prior arrangements with us to ship the product to you by motor freight. Although you should receive the size ordered if shipped by motor freight, note that shipping by motor freight will likely increase your shipping costs.

Shipping Method: UPS Ground and Motor Freight if the proper arrangements have been made by the customer prior to shipping. Shipping costs do apply on Motor Freight shipments, not covered by any sales promotions.
