Diospyros kaki ‘Jiro’ (Jiro Persimmon)

Diospyros kaki ‘Jiro’ (Jiro Persimmon) is a highly reliable, non-astringent persimmon tree known for producing firm, crisp, sweet fruit that can be enjoyed straight from the tree. Its medium to large, distinctly four-sided orange fruits remain mild and pleasant even when fully ripe, making it a favourite for snacking, slicing into salads, and adding to seasonal dishes.

This easy-care deciduous fruit tree grows well in home orchards, urban gardens, and edible landscapes. It offers heavy crops in late autumn to early winter, with fruit often hanging decoratively after the leaves drop. Hardy, adaptable, and low maintenance, ‘Jiro’ is ideal for gardeners wanting dependable harvests with minimal fuss.
