American Persimmon 'Prairie Star®' (Diospyros virginiana)

A superior and early ripening selection from the work of Jim Claypool, Prairie Star® is prized for its large, sweet and flavorful, orange-yellow fruit.

These early ripening varieties were selected from the extensive collection planted by Jim Claypool in Illinois. These Prairie Persimmons™ are reliable producers in cooler regions and feature sweet and delicious seedless fruit. They are reliably hardy to minus 20°F or below.
