Jiro is an excellent alternative to Fuyu when a slightly more compact non-astringent persimmon is wanted. Its flattened fruit is crisp, sweet and ready to eat straight after picking, without softening treatment. Young trees can crop irregularly, and some fruit may develop cracking at the tip. Thinning helps improve fruit size and encourages more consistent annual production.

Price range: 38,00 € through 49,75 €
A popular self-fertile non-astringent Asian persimmon, with a bright orange skin and sweet soft flesh.
Jiro is a popular non-astringent Asian or Japanese persimmon. Being non-astringent the fruits can be eaten fresh from the tree. The flesh is soft and crisp, similar to a soft apple, with a mild melon-like flavour. Jiro persimmons can also be used for baking, drying, and preserves.
Jiro ripens at the start of the pesimmon season, usually in late October.
