Description

In Japanese, Saijo means "The very best one". That might explain why this variety is wildly popular amongst persimmon enthusiasts. In the spring, the self-fertile Saijo Japanese persimmon tree produces gorgeous light pink to white flowers. In late September and early October this oblong, astringent fruit is ready to be gently plucked from the tree for fresh eating. The sweet, yellow flesh of the Saijo persimmon has very few seeds which enhances the eating experience, but this tree is not done showing its potential. In the late fall, the leaves of the Saijo Persimmon trees turn orange, red, and yellow, adding beauty to your landscape. "The very best one" indeed.

Zones
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).
