About Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro
Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro is a dwarfing form of Jiro, producing flat, nonastringent orange fruit that can be eaten firm. Its restrained size makes it useful for small gardens and container culture in suitable climates.
Growing Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro Persimmon
It generally sets fruit without a pollinizer, although pollination can introduce seeds. Protect young trees from severe cold, and harvest once fruit is fully orange but still firm.
