With their sweet taste, bright orange color, and tomato-like shape and texture, persimmons have to be one of my all-time favorite fruits. And if you love them, too, and have an outdoor space of your own, you may be wondering if you can grow a crop at home.
These fruits grow from Diospyros trees, of which there are multiple varieties. They are drought-tolerant once established and require minimal pruning and feeding. They're also unfussy about soil type. In other words, they are pretty straightforward to grow, provided you're in the right hardiness zone.
