Grown For NZ
Our persimmon trees are carefully sourced and grown to thrive in NZ’s unique climate. They prefer well-drained soil and full sun, making them suitable for many regions across the country. With the right care, persimmon trees reward gardeners with bountiful harvests of delicious fruit each season.
Planting and Growing Persimmon Trees
Plant your persimmon tree in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-draining soil. These trees are relatively low maintenance once established, requiring regular watering during dry spells. Persimmons are hardy but benefit from protection against strong winds and frost, especially when young.
Fruit and Harvest
Persimmon fruit ranges in colour from bright orange to deep reddish-orange when ripe. Depending on the variety, fruit can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in cooking and baking. Harvest typically occurs in late autumn, when the fruit is soft and sweet. Our persimmon trees are selected for their reliable fruit production and excellent flavour.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your persimmon tree healthy and productive, prune annually to shape the tree and remove any dead or crowded branches. Fertilise in early spring to support growth and fruit development. Watch for common pests such as scale and aphids, and treat promptly if needed. More expansive advice can be found in our Persimmon Tree Care Guide for New Zealand.
