One of the top plant introductions to date, Nikita’s Gift is a Ukrainian cross of American persimmon and Asian persimmon created at Nikita Botanic Garden in Yalta, Ukraine. Hardy, small tree at 12′ in height. Similar ripening habit as Rosseyanka, fall into winter, but unlike Rosseyanka, Nikita’s Gift taste more like Asian persimmon. It is hardier than any of the Asian persimmons we offer. The upright self fertile tree is easy to grow and takes about a 12′ circle of space. Fall color is yellow, fruit is red orange and soft when ripe. Zone 5-8
