The old classic American persimmon, Early Golden, is the parent of this variety. Garretson was named in 1920 and is still considered as one of the most cold-hardy and reliable choices. High quality, deep orange fruit is somewhat superior to Early Golden in both size and flavour. It also ripens a week earlier. Garretson is resistant to anthracnose, has gorgeous fall foliage and produces well.

Product Overview
Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) American persimmon trees are very attractive with an upright form and distinctive ‘alligator hide’ bark pattern. Waxy, blue-green droopy leaves turn a striking golden yellow in the fall with their orange, golf ball sized fruit which ripens very late, often hanging on the tree after the leaves drop. When fully ripe, persimmons are soft and honey-sweet with a dash of spice. The unusual, delectable flavour possibly explains the Latin name for persimmon which means ‘food of the gods’. Potted

Growing Tips

Persimmons Growing Tip

Plant your persimmon trees in a well-drained, sunny location, but don’t let them dry out. After you have successfully started them, persimmons are extremely easy to grow and care for.
Seedlings may eventually reach a mature height of 15m (50') while grafted varieties usually remain considerably smaller, usually only 5-9m (16-30').


Persimmons Growing Tip

NOTE ON DELAYED LEAFING: Be patient with Persimmons. They are usually the last to break dormancy. Watering them while dormant will not help, it can even hurt the roots, if overdone. They simply need lots of heat to wake up, so in a cool spring it could take a month or even longer yet.


Growing Tip

It is common knowledge that blueberries require acidic (low pH) soil. In many areas of Canada the soil is naturally not acidic enough (pH too high). Here we recommend our popular Blueberry Booster (see page 59). A number of other trees also prefer more acidic soil and will benefit from annual applications of Blueberry Booster. These include Chestnuts, Pawpaws and Persimmons.
Suggested Rate:

  • When planting trees – 250g (1 cup) top dressed and lightly
    raked in before soaking with water.
  • For established trees – 500g (2 cups) per 25mm (1") of tree
    trunk diameter broadcast under tree in early spring.
    In addition, another way to accommodate these 'special needs'
    plants is to add vinegar or citric acid to their irrigation water.
    (2.5 litres common white vinegar to a 20 litre bucket of water).

Pawpaws, Persimmons, Jujubes Growing Tip

In most cases, we recommend planting bareroot fruit trees at their permanent site as soon as you get them. However, the trees in this section of the catalogue (Pawpaws, Persimmons and Jujubes) will often benefit from spending a few more years in a pot. Since these species do not take as well to bareroot handling, we receive them as very small trees in pots. We suggest you repot them in a 2 or 3 gallon container and grow them for several seasons. Pawpaws in particular, will appreciate this, as the tender young trees will prosper much more if you can keep them out of direct sunlight. This way you also have the option of overwintering them in your garage until they are bigger and stronger.
