Persimmon is a native deciduous tree with dark, gloosy green leaves. Fall color is variable, from yellow to red. Flowers are small and not ornamentally important. Female trees produce 1-2” red orange edible fruits that mature in September and are attractive to wildlife. The bark has ornamental qualities, developing a deep, blocky pattern similar to flowering dogwood.
