A wonderful review, thank you! I’m just about to plant 3 of these in Hobart. How long did your tree take to grow to fruiting maturity?

Hi @sylynlam3562, it took 3- 4 years to get fruit, from my memory. I looked up Hobart online - are you from the Hobart in Australia?

Yes that’s right Barb. With our cool temperate climate I thought that the earlier Izu variety might have an easier task maturing its fruit.

Thanks for the video! How would you compare the Izu to the Fuyu persimmon?

Thanks for your kind response. I looked up Izu and Fuyu persimmons online, and found Izu and Fuyu are both non-astringent varieties of Asian persimmons. Izu is an early season, and Fuyu for late season fruits. More of what I found online below : The Izu persimmon is a Fuyu type variety that is non-astringent and can be eaten when firm crunchy. A medium-sized fruit with a round slightly, flat shape, the fruit has a bright orange skin with gold orange hues. The flesh is a pale orange with a rich honey sweet flavor. Izu Persimmon » Store » - Tomorrow's Harvest tomorrowsharvest.com Also 'Giant Fuyu' persimmon is twice the size of a normal persimmon but has the same flavor and a rounder shape. 'Izu' persimmon is a natural dwarf variety. The fruit has the same flavor, shape and size, but the size of the tree is more manageable and great for small gardens.Oct 9, 2023 Rose's Persimmon Recommendations and What is the difference between Fuyu and Izu persimmons? 'Izu' is the choice for the early season, 'Matsumoto' Wase' for the mid-season, and 'Fuyu' for the late season. 'Fuyu' is the most readily available and is generally considered the best commercial non astringent cultivar in Florida. Small to medium-sized, oblong-conical fruit. Skin reddish orange.Nov 18, 2014 Persimmon Varieties - Growables I like my Izu persimmon tree because I can keep it pruned small enough to pick easily with only a short 6 ft ladder. I also like that the fruit is so delicious, and can be eaten in it's crunchy early stage, or let it sit and ripen indoors until it's soft and full-flavored. Hope this helps :)

I'm sorry, I'm not able to do that. But you might want to get ahold of Raintree Nursery or One Green World nursery. I can't remember which, but one of them has researchers who partner with gardeners around the world.

@@sheens9193 I also prune the tree each year in the early spring, to help keep it small. But it is naturally a smaller tree compared to other varieties.
