How to Grow a Fuyu Persimmon Tree?

Fuyu Persimmon Tree will make a statement in your garden or yard with its signature rectangular bark and orange fruits. Leaves will create beautiful fall color as the seasons change.

Plant in your fruit orchard, as a focal point in your edible garden, or your yard. It can be pruned or espaliered to harvest fruits easier.

This tree flowers in spring and fruits will ripen in late summer and fall. Plant more than one tree in order to ensure optimal fruit set.

Plant in well draining soil. Avoid planting in compacted or waterlogged soil; this is not a tree that can tolerate wet feet. This tree can be planted in a variety of different soils, including sandy or loam.

Water your tree regularly until well established in its new location. Let Mother Nature do the watering. Generally, this tree is drought resistant for short periods.

This tree is a significant attraction to wildlife and will bring bees, butterflies, birds, and mammals to your property. Wildlife will eat the fruit, so take care to harvest and protect them as they develop.

Give your trees a balanced fertilizer with potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen for overall plant health. Avoid fertilizing after mid summer as adding more fertilizer after this time will affect fruit output.

Mulch around the base of the tree or add a layer of compost or a layer of leaf mold to optimize the organic materials in soil, taking care to stay away from the trunk.

Remove damaged, diseased, or rubbing branches that will create open wounds for pathogens to enter.

Watch for signs of borers and small insects. Have a treatment plan ready.

Plant Reproduction

Fuyu Persimmon Tree spreads through seeds and root suckers

Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
