It has a long ripening season from August through November, with most of its crop maturing later than Weber, Yates, and Meader, extending the harvest after those varieties are finished. In addition to its fruit quality, ‘Ruby’ is considered one of the most ornamental persimmons, with attractive foliage that resists leaf spotting in the fall. A reliable and productive tree, it is also self-fertile, making it a great choice for home growers.
