Common Persimmon

Diospyros virginiana

Common Persimmon is a rugged, adaptable native tree that delivers remarkable multi-season interest with delicate, fragrant spring flowers, handsome summer foliage, brilliant orange to purple-black fruit in fall, and striking, deeply checkered charcoal bark through winter. A fast grower that tolerates a wide range of soils, drought, and challenging urban conditions, it develops a picturesque, irregular form with age. The sweet, frost-ripened fruits are eagerly consumed by deer, foxes, raccoons, and numerous bird species, making it an exceptional choice for wildlife-focused landscapes.
