Chocolate Persimmon Plant

PRODUCT DETAILS: The chocolate persimmon plant, Diospyros lotus, is a deciduous tree known for its striking, dark brown, almost black fruit with a glossy texture and sweet, custard-like flesh. These trees typically reach a height of 20 to 30 feet and produce small, inconspicuous creamy-white flowers in late spring, which develop into the unique chocolate-colored fruits in the fall.

When fully ripe, its sweet, chocolate-flavored pulp is not only delightful to eat fresh but also serves as a versatile ingredient in various dishes. It can be blended into creamy smoothies, used as a natural sweetener in desserts, added to ice creams and incorporated into chocolate-flavored recipes.
