Diospyros kakim, Persimmon
China, Japan
-
mid-November
The Japanese Persimmon Kaki is an exotic fruit with a sweet flavor reminiscent of apricots, visually similar to a tomato, and with a texture and sweetness closer to peaches and apricots. Despite its name, this fruit bears little resemblance in taste or appearance to the common apple. Kaki is not only low in calories but also an excellent source of dietary fiber, making it ideal for those monitoring their weight. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as B vitamins and minerals such as manganese, copper, and potassium. Additionally, Kaki contains valuable plant compounds like carotenoids that support overall health. This fruit can be eaten fresh, preferably peeled. The easiest way is to cut it lengthwise and scoop out bites with a teaspoon, similar to eating a kiwi. Alternatively, it can be peeled, sliced, and served like an apple. The wood of the Japanese Persimmon tree is also utilized due to its strength, and the leaves can be used to prepare medicinal teas.
The flesh has a sweet flavor similar to apricot.
The fruit is very large and round. At harvest, the skin ranges from yellow to orange. When fully ripe, it becomes a deep orange. The flesh of unpollinated fruits is yellow-orange, while pollinated fruits are yellow-brown with excellent taste (pollinated fruits are firm and edible).

You can purchase seedlings of Japanese Persimmon Kaki at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
