Persimmon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Requires patience, as fruiting can take 3–5 years. The fruit is sweet and custard-like when fully ripe, enjoyed fresh or dried. Prefers full sun with well-drained soil. In northern New Zealand, plant in early spring (September to October) to allow the tree to establish before the cooler months.
