American Persimmon Tree (Prairie Star®)

Description

Prairie Star® in an early-ripening, self-fertile American persimmon variety. It bears large, very sweet, firm, flavorful fruit that is seedless without a nearby male. Trees stay manageable (about 12–15 ft with pruning) and are well-suited to cooler regions thanks to its early ripening. Expect abundant crops in early fall (among the earliest American persimmons), with smooth, orange-gold fruit that softens to dessert quality on the tree. A great backyard choice if you want reliable, seedless fruit on a compact tree; add a male American persimmon nearby if you want to push yields higher.
