Persimmon, grafted male

Diospyros virginiana

Variety description: This selection of male persimmon will pollinate female trees. Pollinated flowers will produce fruit with seeds. Most selections of female persimmon trees will produce seedless fruit in the absence of a male pollinator.

Pests and diseases: None of concern in the Northeast.

Hardiness: Will grow in USDA zones 5-9.
