Unlike astringent persimmons, Fuyu can be enjoyed while still firm, much like an apple, or allowed to soften for an even richer, honey-like flavor. Its brilliant orange fruit, attractive glossy foliage, and vibrant fall color make it an outstanding addition to home orchards, food forests, and edible landscapes where beauty and productivity go hand in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet, non-astringent fruit ready to eat while firm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFuyu produces medium to large, flattened orange fruit with crisp, sweet flesh that can be eaten directly from the tree before softening.
