Description
This product cannot be shipped to California.
The Coffee Cake Persimmon, also known as ‘Nishimura Wase’, is a variety unlike any other you have tried until now. These trees are extremely hardy, practically free of pests, and resistant to most diseases. They can grow up to 18 feet tall with an equal spread and require full sun. The flesh of the Coffee Cake persimmon fruit changes flavor and color after pollination. The flesh turns from orange to brown and acquires a spicy-sweet flavor and aroma that is unequaled among persimmon varieties. Coffee Cake Persimmon fruit is non-astringent only when pollinated. Requires pollination by Chocolate persimmon and 200 chill hours to properly set fruit.
