Grows well in both sub-tropical and temperate climates.
Adapts well to different soil types as long as they are deep, rich and well drained.
A position protected from winds in full sun is best.
Apply fertiliser as recommended annually in Winter. A light pruning only is required as persimmon produce fruit on current season’s growth.
Harvest when fruit are well developed and of characteristic colour.
Plant in well-worked moist soil (incorporate fertiliser and/or compost) ensuring the bud union is at least 10cm above soil level. Water well and keep moist until established.
Fuyu is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
