Report an issue with this species
Persimmon trees in the Diospyros genus are known for their ornamental fruits, which are often preceded by male and female flowers on separate plants. While some species are tropical evergreens providing dense shade, others are deciduous with vibrant fall colors, known for their drought tolerance and attractive orange berries that persist on the tree.
