Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)

$89.00 ($79.00-$89.00 choose a size)

Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, well suited to growing in small backyards and can be kept to 2m with pruning. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions. Seedless when grown on their own. If cross pollinating with another variety they can have seeds in the flesh as shown in the display picture.

Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific

$89.00 ($89.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A PBR selection of the popular Pinks Mammoth variety. It has a low seed count and excellent natural fruit set. This means that, unlike some other varieties, there is no need to laboriously hand pollinate each bloom to achieve a good harvest. Unpruned custard apples grow into very large trees. With dedicated, twice yearly pruning it is possible to restrict tree height and spread to 3-4m. This variety is subject to Plant Breeder Rights (PBR).The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back

WARRNAMBOOL, VIC

Persimmon - Nightingale

It has only just got some leaf buds on it now, a couple of months after planting in this climate. I wanted a deciduous fruit tree. I have seen one of these locally and it looked beautiful laden with the golden orange fruit and no leaves.

tom-paul jagg ★★★★★ 5y ago

Atherton, Queensland, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Nightingale Persimmons and Yellow Excel Figs are thee best fruit in the world. The flavour is not of this Planet. NEED I SAY ANYMORE.

BJ11 ★★★★ 8y ago

CARLISLE, WA, Australia

Planted location #37 (clay loam). Growing very strongly. Required some staking as trunk was not strong enough to support canopy. Pruning and staking has rectified this.

Adrian Van Leest 9y ago

Campbell, ACT, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Peel a hard but nearly ripe Nightingale persimmon and dry it over an air vent for around ten days - truly dios pyros, an experience to die for!

gardengirl ★★★ 13y ago

Illawarra, NSW

I was a bit concerned as this is by far the most expensive tree I bought and my favourite fruit- no signs of life for 2 months. Now the tiniest green bud tips have appeared. Watered very infrequently while dormant.

Pennant Hills, NSW, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Kids love fruit leathers made in a food dryer, made out of pureed persimmon mixed with yoghurt and they also love persimmon blended into a pancake mixture.

Reville Saw 19y ago

Tabulam, NSW, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

The astringent avraieties live up to the name "Dios pyros" (as above) but the NA (non astringent) are not nearly as good. Nightingale is excellent.Also try Mexican persimmon (Diospyros dignya) and the german medlar which also reward the same patience
