Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Fuyu Persimmon in full sun and well-drained soil for the best fruit production and color. Water regularly during establishment, then deeply but infrequently once the tree is mature. Little pruning is needed beyond removing crossing or crowded branches in winter. Fuyu is self-pollinating, so one tree will produce fruit, though multiple trees can increase yield. Protect young trees from harsh frost during their first few winters in colder zones. With its sculptural beauty and generous harvest, Fuyu is both a statement tree and a source of sweetness through the heart of autumn.

How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
