Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Diospyros kaki (Variety 'Kako Mela')
Seed Quantity: 10 selected seeds per pack
Plant type and growing cycle: Perennial fruit tree. Multiannual life cycle with annual fruit production once mature.
Average plant height: At maturity, it can reach 4-8 meters, depending on growing and pruning conditions.
Uses: The fruits are excellent for fresh consumption, perfect in fruit salads, desserts, jams, and jellies. They can be dried or used in sweet and savory dishes.
Tasting Notes: The fruits are distinguished by their slightly flattened shape and intense orange color when fully ripe. The flesh is tender, juicy, and has a very sweet and aromatic flavor, without the typical astringency of unripe persimmons.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to East Asia, the persimmon is a tree hardy to moderate cold, suitable for various temperate climates. It prefers mild winters.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring, after a period of cold stratification of the seeds, or in autumn in areas with mild winters.
Harvest period: The fruits ripen late, typically between November and December, offering a valuable harvest when most other seasonal fruits have finished.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires cold stratification (4-12 weeks at 2-5°C in a moist substrate) to break dormancy. Sow in a well-drained, moist substrate, at a constant temperature of about 20-25°C.
Soil type: Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained, and slightly acidic or neutral soils. Tolerant of various soil types, provided they are not excessively calcareous or clayey and compact.
Recommended exposure: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day is essential for good fruiting and optimal ripening.
Germination times: Variable, but generally slow, may take several weeks to a few months after stratification.
Pot or ground cultivation: Ideal for open ground once the plant has reached an appropriate size. It can be grown in pots during the early stages of growth, provided it uses large containers and provides the necessary care.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (not genetically modified) seeds with a high germination percentage, selected to ensure vigorous and productive plants.
