Japanese Persimmon - Diospyros kaki cvv. - €17 per plant see below for cultivars)
This exciting tree is noted not only for its edible fruits but also for its excellent ornamental features. Fragrant flowers bloom in the late spring and majestic fruits hang on the tree until after the leaves drop in late autumn. At around the same time, the fruits can start to be harvested, although they are not reay to eat until soft and fully ripe. They are worth the wait - deliciously sweet and succulent with a large vitamin content. Many parts of the tree have medicinal properties. It grows well in a sunny position and is a worthy candidate for a forest garden. To order this plant please contact us balkanecologyproject@gmail.com.
