    American/Common Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)
    *Long taproot
    *HEIGHT: Medium sized (30-35' tall x 20-25' wide typically)
    FRUIT: *If the skin is firm, it's not ripe, and at this stage the pulp will dry your mouth out, but once the skin softens and the fruit is soft inside as well, it is fully ripe and will not have this effect.
    FERTILIZER - DO NOT fertilize at planting time: Young persimmon trees are very sensitive to fertilizers. After a few years, if the mature leaves are not deep green and shoot growth is less than a foot per year, apply a balanced fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10) in late winter or early spring.
    **NEVER fertilize after August as this will start new growth too late in the year and lead to frost damage.
    **In the third year, switch to a low nitrogen fertilizer (first number must be less than 5)
    **The fertilizer should be spread under the entire canopy, avoiding 5 inches around the trunk
