American Persimmon Lehman's Delight Bareroot

Lehman's Delight American Persimmon is a remarkable variety and one of the final contributions from the legendary persimmon and pawpaw breeder Jerry Lehman. Widely regarded as one of his finest creations, this cultivar is celebrated for its exceptional fruit quality, reliable productivity, and adaptability.

This early to mid-season ripening persimmon is known for producing especially large fruits that are a striking reddish-orange color. The fruits of the Lehman’s Delight American Persimmon are not only visually appealing on the outside but also boast silky smooth, clear pulp on the inside. When fully ripe, Lehman’s Delight offers an outstanding sweetness and flavor, making it a standout among American persimmons.

One of the unique qualities of Lehman’s Delight is its ability to produce heavy crops despite being naturally smaller in size compared to many other persimmon trees.

This compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for growers with limited space or those looking to incorporate an ornamental and productive tree into their landscaping. The tree’s manageable size, combined with its reliable and abundant yields, ensures a bountiful harvest year after year.
