Description

Versatile fruit on a beautiful tree. Vigorous tree develops an upright, spreading form. Striking dark green leaves turn a rainbow of colors in fall, from deep reds and oranges to purple. Fruit is a heart-shaped cone with deep orange-red skin and orange flesh. Taste is astringent until soft ripe, with an apricot-plum flavor. Contains vitamins A and C and has lots of fiber. Mature fruit can be frozen, then thawed again to mimic ripening. Great for fresh use or as a puree in baking and cooking. Ripens in October. Grafted. Self-pollinating.

Nice tree
A nice healthy little tree that arrived well packaged in early spring. We planted it according to directions and it is now growing very well. It's still to young to produce any fruit but it did get a lot of buds that have fallen off.

a nice little tree
I have had my Hachiya only for one year. My zone (6b) is not quite compatible with this variety, so I've kept it in a 5 gal pot and moved it inside to overwinter. It grew well in the past year, having one foot growth. So far so good. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Outstanding, very pleased
By chance, we planted this tree approx 7 years ago. It produces a large beautiful delicious fruit that will amaze you and your neighbors. The persimmon is as large as my open hand and only one can be held at a time. This year we had 60-70 fruits and at approx 1 cup of pulp avg, that’s a lot of glorious fruit!
