Fruit & Nut Trees
Izu
Diospyros kaki
Izu is an early-ripening, non-astringent Japanese persimmon valued for maturing weeks ahead of Fuyu and for its naturally compact tree size. It produces medium, flattened-round orange fruit that is sweet and can be eaten crisp and firm without astringency. Its earliness extends the persimmon season, and its smaller, more dwarfish growth habit makes it well suited to small gardens and container culture. The flesh is smooth and sweet, good for fresh eating and slicing. Trees show pleasant fall color and are self-fruitful. Izu is a strong choice where space is limited or an early harvest is wanted, fitting neatly into compact permaculture and backyard plantings in mild-temperate climates.Read more
