Persimmon Review and History Meader and Osage American Persimmons

American persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) Meader and Osage. Both are 90 chromosome astringent persimmons meaning you must wait until the fruit is soft before eating. If you eat an unripe persimmon it will be like getting deodorant in your mouth and it lingers for several minutes. They are both heat tolerant and cold hardy in most of the US, zones 4b -9b. American persimmon trees grow into tall large trees but can be kept in check with pruning to an extent. If space is an issue and you live in zone 7 and up go with an Asian type they are more compact but less hardy so not an option for anyone in the colder parts of the world. American persimmons are a deer's favorite wild fruit and they will come from miles around to visit your trees. This is great for hunters but can limit your harvest if you are growing them for you to eat. One good thing about persimmons is one tree produces so much fruit once established that there will be plenty to go around.
