Thompson & MorganFruit Persimmon (diospyros) Kaki (tipo/Fuyu) 7 Litre Potted Plant X 1
Description
Grow your own delectable crops of Sharon fruit or Chinese Persimmon with the Fruit Persimmon 'Kaki' in a convenient 7-liter pot. Originating from China but now increasingly popular, these orange-yellow fruits boast a sweet, non-astringent flavour when fully ripe, making them a delightful addition to fresh fruit salads or enjoyed on their own. The spreading branches of the Sharon Fruit 'Kaki' produce glossy, dark green leaves that transform into stunning shades of orange, gold, and purple in the autumn, creating a picturesque display in your garden. Not only are the fruits edible, but the small, bell-shaped summer flowers add to the tree's ornamental appeal, giving way to continuously ripening fruits that linger well into December, long after the leaves have fallen. This unusual fruit tree is self-fertile and makes an attractive addition to any sheltered border or trained against a sunny wall. While perfectly hardy in the UK, providing winter protection in particularly cold areas is advisable. With a height of 3m (10') and spread of 2m (6'), the Fruit Persimmon 'Kaki' thrives in rich, fertile, well-drained soil and prefers a warm, sheltered position in full sun. To ensure optimal growth and fruiting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting, and maintain a 30cm radius around the base of the tree free from weeds and grass. With proper care and maintenance, you can anticipate a bountiful harvest of delicious Sharon fruit from October to December, adding a touch of sweetness to your garden.
