The Sharon persimmon<\/a> belongs to the non-astringent persimmons variety. They are cold resistant and will easily grow in the UK without the need for any protection<\/span>. Tastes a little like an apricot. Harvest September-November.<\/p>\n

We are anticipating a good crop this year. The flowers have set and small fruitlets are forming.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Prefers a good deep loamy soil in sun or light shade but succeeds in most soils. Dislikes very acid or wet and poorly drained soils. Requires a sheltered position. Dormant plants are quite hardy in Britain, but they require warmer summers in order to ripen their fruit and wood. A warm sunny location improves the chance of producing ripe fruit. Fruits are frequently produced outdoors at Kew. The young trees require some winter protection for their first winter or two.<\/p>\n

Because persimmons leaf out based on number of hours exposed to warmth rather than on exposure to chilling, they can be slower than most. In some areas, a newly planted persimmon may not break dormancy until late spring in warmer climates and summer in cooler climates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
