Asheville GreenWorks Tree Shop › American Persimmon

American Persimmon

$20.00
75 available

Diospyros virginiana

Size: 1-gallon or 3-gallon

The American Persimmon is a charming, fruit-bearing tree that adds both beauty and utility to any landscape. Typically reaching 35-60 feet in height, it offers year-round interest with its glossy, dark green leaves that turn a stunning orange-red in the fall. In late summer to early fall, the tree produces delicious, orange fruits that are sweet when fully ripe—perfect for fresh eating, baking, or wildlife attraction. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, the American Persimmon is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an ideal addition to home orchards or as a standout ornamental tree. Its attractive form and bountiful fruit make it a must-have for those looking to enhance their landscape with both beauty and function.

  • These young trees are unsexed. Persimmons require both sexes for fruit, so planting at least two trees increases your chances of getting a fruit-bearing combination.

    • Purchase the starter pack that includes three 1-gallon trees if you do not have persimmon trees!

  • Purchased and reserved trees can be picked up at The Hop or Sand Hill Nursery at the pickup dates and times noted in your confirmation email.

  • Size = size of the pot they are currently in. The actual height of trees varies from 1' to 6'.

  • Link to more information about tree species.

  • Click here for how to plant your tree once you have it.

  • Click here for the tree wizard to help select a tree for your space.
