Description
This product cannot be shipped to California.
The Chocolate Persimmon Tree received its name because this medium-sized Japanese type persimmon has a chocolaty-brown flesh that is extremely tasty and sweet. Trace amounts of alcohol released from the seeds during the ripening process turn the flesh brown and soften the astringency creating a very rich, distinctive flavor. This elongated, non-astringent persimmon fruit tree ripens late October into early November. Order a quality Chocolate Persimmon Tree for sale from Willis Orchards!

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
