How to Care for Matsumoto Persimmon Trees

The Matsumoto Persimmon is pretty adaptable when it comes to soil types. It can tolerate a range of soil conditions, but prefers slightly acidic soils. But here's the secret to happy persimmons – make sure the soil is well-draining. That way, your tree won't end up with soggy roots. Oh, and a little organic matter or compost never hurts and will help add missing and beneficial nutrients.

How do you grow this tasty tree in your landscape? It's easy!! First, find a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole that's wide and deep enough to accommodate the tree's root ball. Place your persimmon tree in the hole, fill it in with soil, and give it a good watering. Then, stand back and watch the magic happen.

Remember to water your tree regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep it happy and thriving. And here's a fun fact – the Matsumoto Persimmon is self-pollinating, so you don't need a partner tree for it to bear fruit.
