The Hachiya Persimmon Tree is one of the easiest fruit trees to grow and for good reason! Hachiya persimmon fruit is super sweet, easy to pick right off the tree, and perfect for incorporating into baked goods or canning. Like its cousin, the Fuyu Persimmon, the color of the Hachiya fruit can range from shades of light orange to burnt amber. The deep orange fruit has large in size and is acorn-shaped. Ripe Hachiya persimmon taste can be described as very sweet with hints of apple, apricot, and citrus. Hachiya is an astringent persimmon variety which means it's best to eat the fruit once it has softened on or off the Diospyros kaki 'Hachiya' tree. Harvest in late fall from October to December for a bountiful harvest.
