The Ichi Ki Kei Jiro persimmon produces large, sweet fruit, typically eaten while still firm, like an apple. This tree is small, cold-hardy, and highly productive, with self-fertile, seedless fruit that ripens early. It has a rounded, spreading shape, making it a highly ornamental addition to any yard. The fruit is spread throughout the tree, which remains visually appealing even after the leaves fall, as the tree holds onto its fruits. The leaves turn orange in the fall, contributing to its seasonal beauty.
