Native to PA, this fruit tree produces very sweet persimmon fruit that ripens in the fall. The fruit starts green and ripens to orange. This species blooms in spring with fragrant greenish-yellow flowers. The bark is quite distinctive, and with age, it develops a thick, blocky texture. 

It grows up to 60 feet tall in moist conditions but will stay much smaller and almost shrubby in dry fields. Trees are dioecious, meaning they need a male and female tree to produce fruit set. Very drought tolerant but it does tend to sucker. Suckers can be removed.
