The Giombo persimmon is a large, excellent-tasting Asian variety known for its soft, sweet fruit when ripe. This medium-sized tree, reaching about 15 feet in height, produces softball-sized fruit. The texture and sweetness of the fruit are of very high quality, and the leaves turn red in the fall, adding to its ornamental appeal.
