Diospyros kaki, or the Chinese Persimmon, is a hardy tree that is well suited to growing in the UK. It’s a deciduous tree that sports large, glossy dark green leaves that turn shades of orange, red and purple during the autumn. This makes for a wonderful visual display. In addition, in the summer months it becomes covered with tiny, white/yellow flowers that then give way to yellow or orange fruits that are edible. It does like full sunlight, and the best blooms and fruits are seen during especially hot summers.
