Description

The Izu Persimmon is the early bird of the sweet persimmon world. It ripens weeks ahead of most other varieties, offering a much-anticipated first taste of the season. Its remarkable quality—delicious both crisp and soft—makes it an indispensable addition for those who can‘t wait for autumn‘s sweetness.

• An early-ripening variety, providing sweet fruit significantly earlier than Fuyu or Jiro.

• Unique dual-purpose quality: wonderfully sweet and edible when firm and when soft.

• Produces small to medium, flattened, round fruit with attractive orange skin.

• Sweet, mild flavor with a classic persimmon character.

• Good storage capability for an early-season fruit.

• Self-fertile and easy to manage, with attractive glossy foliage that changes color in fall.

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: Consistently sweet with a gentle, traditional persimmon taste.
