Diospyrus kaki 'Nishimura Wase'

Commonly known as CoffeeCake in the United States. A richly-flavored variety that ripens a month before Fuyu. It ripens in climates with summers too cool to consistently ripen the non-astringent variety Fuyu. The fruit is large and roundish. It is called Coffee Cake for its rich flavor and brown flesh color when ripe. It is a non-astringent pollination variant which means when pollinized it develops its rich and sweet flavor best. It's also non-astringent when it is pollinized, and astringent when grown solo. Chocolate is the best pollinizer.

The tree is vigorous and easy to grow - disease-resistant and reliable once established. Give regular water all summer to prevent fruit drop and keep ripening fruits juicy. Low chill at only 100-200 hours at 45F.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Pls need to know if you've for zone 5 and dwarfs ones. Thx.

    Asian persimmons are not zone 5 plants. You will need an American persimmon.

  • Can a Fuyu be a pollinator for Coffee Cake?

    No, the CoffeeCake and Chocolate Persimmons are interspecific and need each other for proper pollination

  • Is this persimmon more like a Fuyu, eaten crisp or slightly soft?

    Yes, if cross pollinated by another persimmon, like Chocolate, it is non astringent. When it is grown without cross pollination it tends to be more astringent.

  • How long will it to fruit?

    Persimmon, once established, fruit usually between somewhere between 5-7 years from planting.
