Description

The Chocolate Persimmon is a fascinating and flavorful adventure for the curious gardener. When pollinated, its flesh transforms into a deep, spicy brown with a uniquely rich and complex flavor. It‘s more than a fruit; it‘s a conversation piece and a gourmet experience from your own backyard.

• Requires cross-pollination (e.g., with another astringent variety like ‘Coffeecake‘) to develop its signature non-astringent, brown flesh and full flavor.

• Produces medium-sized, conical fruit with a beautiful orange-red skin.

• Pollinated fruit reveals stunning dark brown flesh with a smooth, dense, almost jam-like texture.

• Flavor is exceptionally sweet, rich, and spicy with strong persimmon notes.

• A late-ripening variety and an excellent pollenizer for other persimmon trees due to abundant male flowers.

• Highly ornamental with seasonal leaf color change.
