Jiro Persimmon is a popular Japanese non-astringent variety known for its very sweet flavor, flat tomato-shaped fruit, and excellent eating quality. It can be eaten crisp like an apple or allowed to soften slightly for a creamier texture. Jiro is especially valued for its consistent production, attractive fruit, and reliable performance in warm climates, making it a great choice for both home gardens and small orchards.
