American Persimmon Tree (Szukis)

Szukis American Persimmon is a uniquely self-fruitful American persimmon that often bears both male and female flowers on the same tree, so it crops reliably on its own and can also pollinate nearby persimmons for heavier yields. Expect medium, honey-sweet fruit ripening early–mid fall (often around late September), on a naturally compact, easily managed tree that can be kept about 10–12 ft with pruning. Hardy to zone 4, and a steady producer once established. If you prefer seedless fruit on other American persimmons, avoid pairing ‘Szukis’ nearby (its pollen will add seeds); if your goal is maximum yield, ‘Szukis’ is an excellent companion to other cultivars.
