Enjoy delicious, high-sugar persimmons right from your backyard. Nikita’s Gift Persimmon Tree is a cold-hardy, compact hybrid that delivers large fruit in a compact size. Perfect for growers who want a taste of persimmon but lack the space for a full grown native or asian variety. It can even be grown in patio container!

It's a compact variety or persimmon tree. It grows to around 10-15 feet in height, making it a great choice for those who want to add a fruit tree to their landscape without taking over the backyard. Expect to see a healthy amount of fruit from your tree once it establishes.

The Nikita's Gift Persimmon is a real jewel – it produces large, succulent fruit that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The fruits are bursting with a sweet and tangy flavor that's truly irresistible. But remember, Nikita's Gift is an astringent variety, so make sure you allow the fruit to ripen fully before indulging in the delicious taste. Once the fruits turn from a firm texture to a more jelly-like consistency, they're ready to harvest!

Nikita's Gift Persimmon Tree Care

The Nikita's Gift Persimmon tree loves basking in full sunlight. After your fruit tree has been delivered to your front door, be sure to remove it from the box as soon as you can and place it in a bright location. Key points to keep in mind when planting:

Full Sun: Plant in a location that receives 6-8 hours of direct sun a day
Slightly Acidic, Loamy Soil: Aim for a soil pH of 6.0-7.0 that is well-draining and rich in nutrients
Organic Nutrients: Amending the soil with compost or a low-grade organic fertilizer will ensure your tree gets the boost it needs to thrive
Spacing: When planting in the ground we recommend spacing multiple trees roughly 12-15 feet apart from each other and away from structures
