Persimmon is an orange, tomato-shaped fruit that has a sweet taste similar to a cantaloupe. Often growing on smaller trees, some persimmon varieties are ideal for yards with limited space. However, you can't just plant your persimmon tree and leave it be - it will only be productive when growing in the right conditions.
It doesn't matter if you're growing a persimmon tree in a container or directly in the ground, your tree won't perform well if it isn't provided with optimal care. That's why you have to be particularly careful with choosing a location for your tree when first planting persimmon seeds.
