Japanese Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) 5 Seeds
 
A very attractive deciduous tree with spectacular dark-orange autumn foliage. 
 
The latin name  Diospyros translates as " Food of the gods" which is very apropiate  when describing the melting flesh of the persimmon fruit. 
 
The two fruiting types are made up of astringent and non astringent.  The difference being astringent fruit must be left until they soften, astringency is the  dry, mouth puckering sensation caused by the tannins in the unripe fruit.  Non astringent persimmons do not have this effect, they can be eaten crunchy straight from the tree. 
 
Eaten fresh they are delicious, they can also be frozen, dried, made into beer ,wine or cider.  They are very versatile in the kitchen and are used in pies, salads, ice cream, juices, and dressings.

These can also be grown into a wonderful bonsai specimen
Packet contains 5 fresh seeds.
