Fuyu (or Fuyu persimmon) is a popular, non-astringent variety of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki) known for its sweet, crisp, apple-like fruit that can be eaten while firm, unlike astringent varieties. It's a popular ornamental and edible tree, prized for its bright orange fruit that persists into winter and brilliant fall foliage. Fuyu trees are self-pollinating but produce more fruit with a second tree nearby, thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and are hardy in USDA zones 7-10.
