Great Wall Persimmon: Astringent or Non-Astringent?

At maturity, the Great Wall Persimmon Tree reaches a modest height of about 15-20 feet, making it a perfect fit for all landscapes such as smaller yards or wildlife food plots. It's a compact beauty that will delight you without overwhelming your yard.

Benefits of Great Wall Persimmon Trees

Of course, the fruit is the #1 benefit of all persimmon trees. Whether you are looking to eat the fruit yourself or attract some cute critters like deer into your landscape; persimmons are a tasty snack for all. The Great Wall Persimmontree produces large-sized persimmons that are bursting with flavor and are around 3 inches in diameter.

Great Wall Persimmon Tree Quick Care Guide

The Great Wall Persimmon is a fantastic choice if you want to add both beauty and tasty treats to your garden with minimal handholding. With its flavorful fruits, manageable size, and easy care requirements, it's a win all around. Key points on care:

  • Sunlight: This tree loves to soak up some rays. Give it full sun exposure, which means a minimum of 6-8 hours of sunshine each day. The more sun, the better.
  • Soil: This asian persimmon prefers well-draining soil that's slightly acidic to neutral; aim for a pH of 6.0-7.0.
  • Spacing: Give it some room to spread its branches! About 8-10 feet away from other structures or trees should do the trick
  • Watering: Water it deeply but infrequently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Pro-Gardener Tip

Adding compost or organic matter to the soil before planting will help improve acidity plus give your tree a boost of nutrients!

What does the Great Wall persimmon taste like?

The Great Wall Persimmon has a rich, sweet flavor with a smooth, custard-like texture when fully ripe. It’s an astringent variety, meaning it must soften before eating—but once ripe, it delivers a deeply flavorful and honeyed taste that fans compare to apricots and brown sugar.

How long does it take for a persimmon tree to bear fruit?

A grafted Great Wall Persimmon Tree typically begins producing fruit in 2 to 4 years after planting, depending on growing conditions, care, and climate. Trees grown from seed may take much longer—often 7 years or more.

How big do persimmon trees get?

Great Wall Persimmon Trees can grow to about 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, upright canopy. They’re well-suited for medium-sized gardens and can be pruned to maintain a more compact size.

How to plant a persimmon tree?

Plant your Great Wall Persimmon Tree in a location with full sun, well-draining soil, and protection from strong winds. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, set the tree at the same depth it was growing in its container, and water thoroughly after planting. Mulch around the base and keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy) during establishment.

Does persimmons have seeds?

Yes, persimmons can have seeds, though the number varies by variety and pollination. The Great Wall Persimmon may be seedless if grown without nearby pollinators, but may contain a few seeds if cross-pollinated.
