PERSIMMON Fuyu 15 Seeds - Diospyros kaki

 

These exotic Persimmon Fuyu variety seeds possess a high quality non-astrigent genetic profile and are pre-stratified for your convenience.

 

Persimmon is an often multi-stemmed, slow-growing, deciduous tree with a fairly open, round crown .  The bole is short and crooked . The tree is widely cultivated, especially in Japan and China, for its edible fruit .  A handsome, ornamental tree with drooping leaves and branches that give it a languid, rather tropical appearance, it is often grown in gardens .

 

EDIBLE USE OF PERSIMMON

 

Fruit can be eaten raw or cooked . The fruit has an exquisitely rich flavour when it is very soft and fully ripe (almost at the point of going bad), but the fruit of many other cultivars is very harsh and astringent before then . In Australia  the fruit needs to be harvested whilst it is still very hard. This is done very late in the season, it is then stored in a cool but frost-free place until very soft and fully ripe . The fruit can also be used in pies, cakes, bread  and desserts . It contains 25% sugars . The fruit can also be dried for later use . The fruit is about 7.5cm in diameter . The peel of the fruit can be powdered and used as a sweetener . The leaves are used to improve the flavour of pickled radishes . The roasted seeds are a coffee substitute .

 

HOW TO GROW PERSIMMON FROM SEED

 

S eed require 8 - 10 weeks  of  cold stratification at 1° C  prior to sowing . We have completed this step for you.

 

Fill a seedling tray with humidity dome with seed raising mix  and plant the seeds 1 .5 cm deep.

 

Water the seeds and wait 4 -  8  weeks. Water the seeds until the soil is damp to the touch. Make sure not to over   water or else the seeds will become waterlogged  and rot . In 4 - 8 weeks , you should notice seedlings emerge .

 

Keep the tray  in a well-lit area.   The seedlings should be kept in a bright and warm area, like a windowsill, so they can grow. Remember that the more light a plant gets, the more water the plant will need.

 

Wait until the seedlings have 4 true leaves. The first “leaves” that you’ll see on your seedlings are cotyledons and not true leaves. True leaves will develop over time and will resemble leaves from a fully grown tree. Once there are at least 4 true leaves on your seedling, they are ready to transplant.

 

Transplant the seedlings to individual pots  or into the garden .  Spring is the ideal time to do this. Once you have unearthed a seedling, put it in a hole slightly larger than the root ball and fill in with Citrus Potting Mix.

 

MEDICINAL USES OF PERSIMMON

 

The stem bark is astringent and styptic . The fruit is said to have different properties depending on its stage of ripeness, though it is generally anti - tussive, astringent, laxative, nutritive and stomachic . The fresh fully ripe fruit is used raw in the treatment of constipation and haemorrhoids   and when cooked is used to treat diarrhoea .

 

The dried ripe fruit is used in the treatment of bronchial complaints, whilst when ground into a powder it is used to treat dry coughs . Juice from the unripe fruit is used in the treatment of hypertension . The fruits, picked green and ripened in containers with the leaves, become very sweet and are considered to be anti - febrile, anti - vinous and demulcent .

 

The fruits are also peeled and then exposed to sunlight by day and dew by night. They become encrusted with a white powder and are then considered to be anthelmintic, anti - haemorrhagic, anti - vinous, expectorant, febrifuge and restorative . The peduncle is used to treat coughs and hiccups . A decoction of the calyx and fruit stem is sometimes taken to relieve hiccups, coughs and laboured respiration
