Diospyros kaki "Fuyu"
This tree produces heavily. After picking as many persimmons as I could use, I left the rest for the wildlife.
Wildlife habitat yard.
Fuyu persimmon is by far the most popular and well-known cultivar of persimmons. It is a non-astringent type. "Fuyu" is the shorten Japanese name for "Fuyugaki", meaning "Winter Persimmon". Although this fruit originated from China, the Japanese name was adopted as Japan cultivated it and made popular by them.
