Cold-hardy fruit with rich flavor
Rosseyanka is an Asian × American persimmon hybrid that combines the growth habit, cold hardiness, and rich, sweet flavor of the native American persimmon with the larger fruit size of the Asian persimmon. This grafted, self-fertile tree can produce fruit without a second pollinator, making it a practical choice for home orchards and edible landscapes.
Its large, sweet, nearly seedless fruit has a hint of tang and starts ripening in October, with some fruit remaining on the tree or dropping into early winter. As an astringent persimmon variety, Rosseyanka's fruit should be enjoyed once it has fully softened and the skin begins to wrinkle. Along with dependable harvests, this tree offers attractive foliage and a handsome structure that fits beautifully into sunny landscapes. In fall, its leaves turn striking shades of golden-orange, complementing the bright orange fruit for a stunning seasonal display.
Pollination Info
Rosseyanka Persimmon Tree Pollination
Rosseyanka Persimmon Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Rosseyanka Persimmon Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil, allowing room for the tree’s mature canopy. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and about twice as wide, keeping the graft union several inches above the soil line.
2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water during extended dry periods, especially while fruit is developing. Avoid consistently soggy soil.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant. Remove damaged, crossing, or crowded branches and maintain an open, balanced framework. Cut away any shoots that emerge below the graft union.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if growth is weak or soil fertility is low. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.
