FAQs for Prok Persimmon Tree

Prok persimmons have a rich, honey-sweet flavor with smooth, custard-like flesh when fully ripe. This American persimmon variety is known for being less astringent than many others, offering a pleasant, sweet taste with subtle notes of spice and apricot.

Yes! The Prok persimmon is self-pollinating, meaning you only need one tree to produce fruit. However, planting it near other persimmon varieties can help improve fruit yield and size through cross-pollination.

Prok persimmon trees typically begin to bear fruit in 3 to 5 years after planting, depending on care, climate, and growing conditions. Grafted trees, like those from Perfect Plants, often fruit sooner than seed-grown trees.

Taste is subjective, but many gardeners consider Prok, Fuyu, and Hachiya among the best-tasting persimmons. Prok is particularly favored for its astringent sweetness, soft texture, and suitability for fresh eating or baking.
