Persimmon Saijo - Astringent

Saijo persimmons are a highly prized Asian variety celebrated for their intensely sweet, honey-like flavour and seedless, jelly-like texture when fully ripe. The name "Saijo" translates to "the very best one" in Japanese, reflecting this cultivar's exceptional quality. This astringent variety develops its characteristic sweetness as it ripens, offering a premium eating experience. Plants are dormant during late autumn and winter with no foliage until spring growth resumes.
