Description
Specialty seedlings of ‘Prok’ persimmon. Unsexed.
Native persimmon trees (Diospyros virginiana). Our native American persimmon is an excellent wildlife and reforestation tree. These are UNSEXED seedlings, meaning some will be fruit producers and some will be non-fruiting male trees, roughly 50%. Fruit quality will be variable. These are best suited towards wildlife, reforestation, landscaping and native plantings. Honeybees like the lovely white little flowers. Fruit is edible and often very tasty. These can also be used for future high quality lumber or as rootstock for grafting named cultivars of persimmon. Excellent fall color to red.
Uses: Wildlife, edible fruit, lumber, reforestation, good honeybee forage.
Resistant to: Very disease and insect resistant. No major issues.
Plant Size: Feb-May Bare-Root. 24-36″ tall
