Botanical Name: Diospyros kaki 'Tipo' Seed Quantity: 10 seeds selected to ensure the best quality and germination potential. Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial, deciduous fruit tree, known for its longevity and productivity. The fruit production cycle is annual, once the tree reaches maturity. Maximum Plant Height: The Tipo Persimmon tree can reach a significant height, generally between 5 and 10 meters, developing a broad, bushy crown. Main Uses: The fruits are excellent eaten fresh, ideal as a fall and winter dessert. They are also perfect for making jams, jellies, desserts, and dried fruit, offering culinary versatility. Organoleptic Characteristics of the Fruit: 'Tipo' persimmons are distinguished by their globular or slightly conical shape and considerable size, with fruits that can exceed 200-300 grams. The peel, a vibrant, deep orange color when fully ripe, encloses a bright orange pulp that is juicy, fibrous, and exquisitely sweet, completely non-astringent when ripe. Hardiness and Origin: Persimmon 'Tipo' is a hardy cultivar well-adapted to temperate climates, displaying good winter hardiness. Originally from East Asia, it is now widely grown successfully in Italy and many other temperate regions around the world. Recommended Sowing Period: Sowing the seeds, after the essential cold stratification, is recommended in spring, typically between March and April, to prepare the young plants for the growing season. Fruit Harvest Period: Tipo persimmon fruits ripen late, from November to December, representing a seasonal delight that prolongs the pleasure of fresh fruit into winter. Optimal Germination Conditions: To break dormancy and stimulate germination, cold stratification for 2-3 months (at 2-5°C) is essential. Afterward, keep the substrate constantly moist and the room temperature around 20-25°C to encourage seedling development. Ideal Soil Type: Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic or neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.0). It is essential to avoid heavy, clayey, or waterlogged soils. Recommended Sun Exposure: Requires a position in full sun for healthy, vigorous growth, as well as for abundant, high-quality fruiting. Germination Time: After proper stratification, germination can take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and variety. Pot or Ground Cultivation: Given its tree-like growth and final size, it is ideally grown in the ground, where it can fully develop. It can be grown in pots only during the first few years of its life, requiring a permanent transplant.
