Saijo Asian Persimmon

'Saijo' is a legendary Japanese heirloom whose name literally translates to "The Very Best One"�a title bestowed upon it because it holds the highest sugar content of almost any Asian persimmon in cultivation. It belongs to the astringent category, meaning it must be allowed to soften to a jelly-like consistency before eating. Saijo is widely considered a "holy grail" variety because it is exceptionally cold-hardy, highly reliable in our coastal climate, and consistently produces heavy crops where other varieties might struggle.

Ancient tales tell that the Garden of the Hesperides held golden apples that granted immortality and were guarded by nymphs and a dragon. Invite myth and memory into your yard with this plant.
