Persimmon Twentieth Century

The fruit of the 'Twentieth Century' persimmon is medium to large, with a slightly oblate shape and a smooth, glossy skin that turns from green to a deep, rich orange when fully ripe. The flesh is sweet, juicy, and non-astringent, meaning it can be eaten while still firm, unlike some other persimmon varieties that require full ripening to eliminate their astringency.'Twentieth Century' persimmons thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, although they can tolerate partial shade. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil pH and require regular watering, particularly during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.
