About Diospyrus Virginiana Trees: Diospyrus Virginiana is a native fruit tree with attractive edible fruit. Its dark-green leaves conceal small fragrant white flowers that are replaced by pale-orange fruits, which ripen after frost. While persimmon grows on many kinds of soils, it attains its greatest size on sandy, clay soil in bottoms. It is one of the first invaders of old fields with the seeds brought in by wild birds and animals. Sprout clumps are common in neglected pastures, old fields and fence rows. The leaf is rather leathery and dark green without teeth on the margin.
