Oriental Persimmon (Hachiya Persimmon)

Experience the rich, custard-like sweetness of the Hachiya Oriental Persimmon (Diospyros kaki)—a beloved Japanese heirloom known for its vibrant orange fruits and delicately smooth pulp when fully ripe 🍊🍮.

Unlike non-astringent varieties, Hachiya Persimmons must ripen to a soft, jelly-like texture before eating. But the reward is worth the wait—each bite melts in your mouth, bursting with a naturally sweet, almost honeyed flavor.

Perfect for baking, puddings, smoothies, or drying, the fruit is also rich in vitamin A, antioxidants, and fiber. The tree itself is a seasonal beauty—offering shiny green leaves, dramatic autumn color, and a winter silhouette dotted with golden fruit.

Easy to grow and relatively hardy, the Hachiya thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it makes a stunning focal point in edible gardens or large containers.
