FAQs for Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree

Persimmon trees grow best with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, such as our Slow Release Root Boosting Fertilizer. Apply fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins, follow the instructions on the label for dosage, avoiding late fall applications that can encourage tender growth before winter. Healthy soil rich in organic matter is just as important, so adding compost or mulch around the base helps support long-term vigor and fruit production.

Maekawa Jiro persimmon trees typically reach 10-15 feet tall and wide at maturity, making them a medium-sized fruit tree well suited for home gardens, food forests, and backyard orchards. With pruning, they can be maintained at a smaller size, which makes harvesting easier while still producing a generous crop of fruit.

Yes, the Maekawa Jiro persimmon tree is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to enjoy fruit. That said, planting additional persimmon varieties nearby can sometimes improve fruit size and overall yield. This makes Maekawa Jiro a great option for gardeners with limited space who still want reliable harvests.

Most grafted persimmon trees, including Maekawa Jiro, begin producing fruit in 2 to 4 years after planting under proper growing conditions. Factors like sunlight, soil quality, watering, and pruning all influence how quickly the tree matures and starts bearing fruit.
