Persimmon Tree Nikita’s Gift™ (Diospyros virginiana x kaki)
This exciting new Persimmon hybrid Nikita’s Gift™ is a cross between an American Persimmon variety (virginiana)
and the Japanese Persimmon variety (kaki) and it gives us a wonderful fruit tree that
is hardy to Zone 5. The bright reddish-orange fruit is about 3” wide and somewhat
flattened on top. It has the same delicious flavor as the Japanese Persimmon variety and
the fruit usually ripens in mid October. The fruit should be fully ripened and soft before eating, otherwise it's astringent. Persimmon Nikita's Gift™ is self-fertile, so no cross-pollinator is
required. Grow in the outdoor garden in well-drained soil and give plenty of sun
and water regularly for great tasting fruit. This is a grafted plant that flowers and
fruits sooner.
