Diospyros virginiana – American Persimmon

Description

Diospyros virginiana (American Persimmon) needs 60-90 days of cold stratification for seeds to germinate, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, though adaptable, providing edible fruit, valuable timber, and wildlife habitat; it’s dioecious (male/female trees needed), attracting pollinators like native bees, and requires a male pollinator for fruit.
