1 Gal. Saijo Persimmon Tree PERSAI01G

The Saijo is an astringent， self-pollinating persimmon tree that produces a yellowish-orange， sweet fruit. The fruit has very few seeds which makes it ideal for eating fresh. The persimmons ripen in mid-fall and are oblong fruit with a yellow flesh. The Saijo tree also produces white-pink flowers in the late spring or early summer before it fruits， and it boasts of fall foliage. Another attractive quality of the persimmon tree is its high pest resistance. The Saijo has a moderate growth-rate and reaches around 15 ft. to 25 ft. high with a width between 10 ft. to 12 ft. Plant in full sun or partial shade with moist， well-drained soil. We graft the Saijo persimmon onto native American persimmon root stock. It is shipped in a #1 pot with a minimum height of 12 in. and is hardy in USDA zones 7-9.
