Great Wall Persimmon Tree Care In the Landscape

In terms of soil, the Great Wall Persimmon Tree is pretty easygoing. It prefers well-draining soil that's slightly acidic to neutral. And here's a pro tip: adding compost or organic matter to the soil before planting will give your tree a boost of nutrients and help it thrive.

When it comes to growing this beauty in your landscape, here's what you need to know. Give it some room to spread its branches – about 8-10 feet away from other structures or trees should do the trick.

FAQs for Great Wall Persimmon Tree

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.

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.

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.

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.
