Jiro persimmons have a similar shape to Fuyu fruits and is also a type of Japanese persimmon. They resemble a firm orange tomato with light green leaves on the top of the fruit. Even biting into its firm flesh won’t cause your mouth to pucker as the Jiro persimmon is very sweet. This listing is for seedlings 12-18 inches tall that will ship dormant from September-April. These are bare -root and shipped ready to plant.

Because you can eat this non-astringent variety when it’s firm, it is sometimes called the “Apple persimmon.”

The smooth light-orange skin of the Jiro is edible and these persimmons are best consumed raw. However, you can use this sweet fruit along with savory items to make delicious snacks.
