| The oriental persimmon is a globe-shaped tree eventually reaching up to 30 ft (9 m) tall. The deciduous leaves are large 4-6 in (10-15 cm) in length. They emerge glossy bronze in spring and turn to gold to orange-red in Autumn. Although the flowers are not especially showy, they give way to delicious orange, baseball-size fruits that remain even after the leaves have fallen. Does best in full sun. Needs well drained, slightly acid soils, but they can tolerate a wider variety of conditions than most fruit trees. Kaki persimmons are drought tolerant.
