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.

Bright orange fruits start to appear in the mix of leaves, but stand out best once the leaves have fallen and all that are left are the bare branches and fruit.

How To Plant Fuyu Japanese Persimmon

Fuyu is a fairly easy persimmon to grow in the landscape, but it does have some specific needs. Plant Fuyu in a location that has access to full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. You'll want to ensure that the location does provide shelter from late spring frosts and cold winds. After the first year of consistent watering, Fuyu will become drought tolerant after properly becoming established.

How To Water

Water well when your plant first arrives! Persimmon Trees need to be watered deeply, and regularly, a few times a week during its first few years in the ground. Persimmon roots grow slowly to help them thrive; water trees for 10 minutes once or twice a week in spring and summer. Irrigate weekly, especially during prolonged dry spells or extreme heat after it’s established.

How To Fertilize

At Bower & Branch, we believe tree success starts below the surface. Healthy, living soil is the foundation of every thriving tree, and that’s why we reach for Organic Plant Magic, a proud part of our Tree Elements care lineup, every time we plant.

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!
