Product Description

Four-month harvest window (Sept. thru Dec.)
Fully ripe fruits lose their astringency while still on the tree
Green Thumb Award winner
Nearly seedless fruit when not paired with a pollinator
Plant both varieties for bigger harvests (with seeds)

A hybrid marvel more than 10 years in the making, Caramel Cocktail has a craveable flavor profile that includes honeyed caramel, nutmeg, clove and vanilla. What makes these vibrant orange, larger-than-average fruits even more unique is their ability to fully ripen and lose their astringency on the tree—something that's hard for most persimmon fans to believe. Traditionally, you would have to wait for ripe persimmons to fall to the ground before considering them for fresh eating. But not these.

Offering nearly seedless harvests when planted alone, Caramel Cocktail produces larger yields when paired with pollinator Sugar Daddy. Grows 35-60 ft tall and, once established, produces 2-4 bushels of fruit from Sept. to Dec. Own root trees will come back true to type if damaged.

Sugar Daddy Pollinator The best American persimmon pollinator available, period. Sugar Daddy is so fertile, it even produces its own small fruits, which is a rare feat for a male persimmon. It's the perfect pollinating partner for Caramel Cocktail or any other persimmon in your backyard orchard.
