Maru persimmon is a unique variety that produces round tomato shaped fruit that will either be astringent and need to be soft to be sweet and edible, or non-astringent if it has been pollinated by another persimmon tree. It is often mistakenly called Chocolate due to the fact that it produces fruits with a brown flesh similar to chocolate, but only when they have been pollinated. Fruits are extremely sweet and also make a unique and tasty dehydrated fruit.

Probably the most widely planted fruit tree in the world, Persimmons are found throughout Asia in almost every yard and orchard. Large, bright orange, Asian Persimmon features yellow, orange and scarlet fall color and their striking fruits remain on the tree long after leaf fall. Hardy to 0 degrees F., Asian Persimmons are easy to grow in the Northwest and other regions of the U.S. with mild winters.

Also known as Nishimura wase, Coffee Cake Asian Persimmon is perhaps the earliest ripening of any Asian persimmon ripening an entire month before most Fuyu types! Coffee Cake get its name from the incredibly rich flavor and speckled brown flesh. Fruits are large, round and very delicious. A great choice for areas that are too cool to reliably ripen other persimmons varieties. We’re looking at you, Puget Sounders! But also an excellent choice anywhere persimmons can be grown for the flavor alone and ability to lengthen the ripening season. Coffee Cake is a non-astringent pollination variant meaning it develops its sweetest non-astringent flavor when pollinized with another variety. Chocolate is thought to be the best pollinizer for Coffee Cake but Giant Fuyu, Izu and Early Jiro have been recommended as well, though it’s assumed many varieties could suffice for pollination.
