American Persimmon Meader

The true, rare American species, Meader is not the grocery store Oriental Persimmon you may be used to. A superbly ornamental tree with large dark green foliage that turns red and yellow in autumn, it sets masses of apricot-sized, orange-red fruit. Very hardy and pest- and disease-resistant, it slowly grows 30 feet high unpruned. Harvest the fruit when soft; it has a rich, sugary flavor somewhat like dates. Zones 4-9.
