Description

Diospyros kaki ‘Sharon’ is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, orange persimmons, commonly known as Sharon fruit. Its attractive foliage, autumn colours and delicious fruit make it a lovely addition to Maltese gardens.

💧 Watering

Water regularly while establishing. Deep watering is important during Malta’s hot summers, especially when the tree is developing fruit.

☀️ Light

Thrives in full sun. Choose a warm, sheltered position with good airflow for healthy growth and fruit production.

🍃 Foliage / Growth

Produces glossy green leaves that turn yellow and orange in autumn. The tree loses its leaves in winter and produces sweet, orange fruit, usually ripening in autumn.

🪴 Potting Mix

Prefers fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost. Avoid waterlogged conditions.

🌿 Fertilizer

Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in spring. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth instead of fruiting.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Ripe persimmon flesh is generally safe for cats and dogs in small amounts. Keep seeds, leaves and unripe fruit away from pets, as they may cause digestive problems.

🌬️ Air Purifying

Primarily valued for its edible fruit, attractive foliage and ornamental appeal rather than specific air-purifying properties.
