Armstrong Garden Centers Hachiya Japanese Persimmon

No, the Hachiya Japanese Persimmon is a self-pollinating variety. You only need to plant one tree to enjoy a harvest of fruit.

Since this tree reaches a mature height and spread of 25 feet, you should plan for a 25-foot diameter area. This ensures the tree has enough room to maintain its open, rounded form without crowding nearby structures or plants.

The fruit typically ripens in mid-November. You will know it is ready when the skin turns a deep, showy orange color.

This tree is versatile and thrives in both full sun and partial shade. For the best fruit production and fall foliage color, a location with plenty of sunlight is recommended.

It is a deciduous tree. You can expect it to lose its leaves in the winter, but not before providing a vibrant display of orange, red, and yellow foliage in the fall.
