| Description | An outstanding deciduous fruit tree with highly ornamental qualities, on superior Diospyros lotus rootstock. Fall foliage is a brilliant orange-red. Showy, bright orange-scarlet fruit ripens in late fall and remains on the bare stems well into winter. Non-astringent, firm-fleshed fruit is best if given time to soften slightly after harvesting from tree. Self-pollinating, but will produce more fruit with a second tree nearby. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Inconspicuous spring flowers. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Deciduous |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Fall Color, Improved Pest and Disease Resistance, Showy Fruit, Edible, Multi-Season Interest |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Landscape Use | Espalier, Privacy Screen |
| Flower Color | Yellow |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Foliage Fall Color | Orange |
| Companion Plants | Evergreen Clematis (Clematis armandii); Lavender (Lavandula); Coneflower (Echinacea); Arborvitae (Thuja); Switch Grass (Panicum); Cedar (Cedrus) |
| Care Instructions | Provide enriched, loamy, well-drained soil. Shelter from harsh winds. Water deeply and regularly during first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Apply a general purpose slow-release fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. |
| History | Diospyros kaki 'Fuyu' is grafted on D. lotus rootstock, which exhibits greater cold hardiness, improved disease resistance, and less propensity for forming suckers. |
