The Maekawa Jiro Persimmon Tree, originating from Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, is widely regarded as one of the best non-astringent persimmon cultivars in the world. This elite Asian persimmon variety is the same cultivar commonly grown in California and marketed as Fuyu, making Jiro a proven standard for commercial orchards and home fruit growers alike.
Jiro produces very large, flat, bright orange persimmons with a sweet, mild flavor that can be eaten fresh while still firm, with no astringency. Ripening in late October, this dependable late-season persimmon tree extends the harvest window and delivers consistent, high-quality fruit year after year.
This cold-hardy persimmon tree adapts well to a wide range of growing conditions and, with proper planting and care, new trees can begin producing fruit in just 2–3 years. Its strong structure, ornamental appeal, and reliable yields make Jiro an excellent choice for backyard orchards, food forests, and specialty fruit plantings.
For growers seeking a large-fruited, non-astringent persimmon tree for sale with proven performance, excellent flavor, and commercial-grade reliability, the Jiro Persimmon Tree stands as a Chestnut Hill favorite—a world-class cultivar trusted for consistency, quality, and results.

| Pruning | Most persimmon trees require minimal pruning, especially once they’re bearing fruits. Pruning is usually restricted to controlling the tree’s size or removing dead, diseased, and damaged branches. Prune any suckers that develop. |
| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
