$ 50
Diospyros virginiana 'Claypool' aka H-120
Variety description: Reported to be a very productive tree of medium height. Our tree has yet to produce, so we cannot speak directly the fruit qualities. Named after long-time persimmon breeder James Claypool.

Pests and diseases: None of concern in the Northeast.
Hardiness: Will grow in USDA zones 5-9.
When we ship: FALL 2025
