Giant Fuyu is a very large hybrid of the Fuyu and Jiro. The Giant Fuyu Persimmon tree ripens in November and is non-astringent. Benefits from 100-200 Chill Hours. Tree becomes adorned with glossy orange persimmons in mid fall. Easy to grow and self-fruiting; great cross pollinizer for other persimmon varieties. The fruit is a dark orange color when ripe and has a delicious smooth texture. Fruits are larger than regular Fuyu with flavors reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Non-astringent cultivars have lost their astringency by maturity and can be eaten crisp like an apple or at various stages of softness. Learn more: Growing Persimmon trees.
