Giombo Persimmon

About the Giombo Persimmon Tree

Giombo “Jumbo” is one of the most highly regarded astringent persimmons! This exceptional variety is known for producing some of the largest persimmon fruit, reaching up to five inches in size. It has the shape of the Hachiya, but smooth texture and very sweet, much like the Saijo persimmon. Giombo ripens two weeks after Saijo and is astringent until fully ripe.

The light translucent orange fruit with thin peel houses a succulent, jelly-like flesh with exceptional taste when ripe. Giombo persimmons are ready to harvest by late October, with bright colors that match the season.

The Giombo Persimmon Tree is a self-fertile variety, ensuring consistent and dependable fruit production. As autumn arrives, the tree transforms with its leaves turning a captivating shade of red, enhancing the overall elegance of your landscape. With a mature height ranging from 12 to 15 feet and a width of 8 to 10 feet, the Giombo strikes a harmonious balance between size and ornamental beauty, making it a captivating focal point for your outdoor space.
