Matsumoto Persimmon, also known as Matsumoto Wase-Fuyu, is a non-astringent Japanese persimmon prized for its early ripening and excellent fruit quality. The fruit is slightly larger and rounder than standard Fuyu and ripens about two weeks earlier, making it a great choice for extending the persimmon season. Sweet, mild, and versatile, Matsumoto can be eaten crisp like an apple or allowed to soften for a creamier texture. Consistently heavy bearer.
