Introducing the Saijo Persimmon tree, a must-have for any fruit lover! This medium-sized persimmon is a true delight when picked and savored at its peak ripeness. Not only is it known for its incredible taste, but it is also one of the hardiest varieties of Asian persimmons available today, making it perfect for colder climates. The Saijo persimmon is a top-notch cultivar that is self-fertile, ensuring a bountiful harvest. However, for even more abundant fruit yields, consider planting another persimmon tree nearby to enhance pollination. It's important to note that Saijo persimmons are classified as astringent, meaning they can only be enjoyed when fully ripe. So, be patient and let these delectable fruits reach their full potential before indulging in their sweet and juicy goodness. (USDA Zones 6-9)
