About Common persimmon
# Common Persimmon
Common persimmon is a delightful native tree that brings real joy to your yard. In fall, it puts on a spectacular show with golden-orange fruit and brilliant foliage. Birds and wildlife absolutely love the fruit, making your garden come alive with activity. You'll enjoy watching deer, foxes, and songbirds visit throughout the season. The tree is tough, reliable, and asks very little of you once established.
This native tree is wonderfully low-maintenance. It prefers full sun and adapts well to various soil types. Plant it in a spot where it has room to grow naturally, and let it do its thing. Water regularly when young, then sit back and enjoy. Within a few years, you'll have a thriving tree that feeds wildlife and looks beautiful every single season. It's one of those native plants that really rewards you for the minimal effort required.
