Size/Age: 2-year grafted tree, 24-36 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4-9
Our grafted 'Meader' American Persimmon trees solve one of the biggest challenges with standard persimmon seedlings—the uncertainty of getting fruit-producing female trees. Each 'Meader' tree is carefully grafted to ensure you receive a self-fertile female tree that will consistently produce sweet, orange fruits without requiring a separate male pollinator.
The 'Meader' variety is renowned for its cold hardiness, reliable production, and exceptionally sweet fruits that ripen after frost—typically in October and November during prime hunting season. These grafted specimens typically begin bearing fruit within 3-4 years of planting, significantly earlier than the 5-7 years required for seedling trees.
Unlike standard American persimmons which are dioecious (separate male and female trees), the self-fertile 'Meader' ensures fruit production even when planted as a single specimen, making it ideal for smaller properties or targeted plantings near hunting locations.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Guaranteed female tree ensures fruit production
Earlier fruiting compared to seedlings (3-4 years vs. 5-7 years)
Fruits ripen during peak hunting season
Extremely high sugar content creates irresistible deer attraction
Planting Instructions: Plant in full to partial sun. American Persimmons adapt well to various soil types, including poor or rocky soil. Space 20-30 feet apart from other trees.
Care Requirements: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, 'Meader' persimmons are drought-tolerant and require minimal care. They have deep taproots making them very resilient.
Bulk Price: $44 each for 3+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships in container with soil to protect the valuable grafted union and root system. Plant promptly upon arrival and water thoroughly. Persimmons may be slow to leaf out in spring—be patient after planting.
