What is the easiest persimmon tree to grow?

Fuyu and Jiro persimmons are typically considered the easiest non-astringent varieties to grow due to their low maintenance, self-pollinating nature, and ability to be eaten when still firm. Tanenashi is also easy to grow and ideal for gardeners who enjoy traditional, soft astringent fruit.

FAQs for Tanenashi Persimmon Tree

Yes, the Tanenashi persimmon is self-pollinating, meaning it does not require a second tree to produce fruit. However, planting more than one persimmon tree can potentially improve yield and fruit quality.

Persimmons thrive with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer high in nitrogen during the early growing season. Look for something like 10-10-10 or 12-4-8, applied in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, especially with high-nitrogen blends, as this can reduce fruit production.

Yes, Tanenashi is an astringent persimmon. This means it must be fully ripe and soft before eating, or the fruit will have a dry, puckering taste due to high tannin levels. Once ripe, the flesh becomes sweet and jelly-like.

Tanenashi persimmons are highly regarded for their sweet, mild flavor and smooth texture when fully ripe. They’re excellent for fresh eating, baking, and drying, making them a favorite in both home orchards and culinary gardens.
