Buy Matsumoto Wase Fuyu Persimmon trees for sale from Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Matsumoto Wase Fuyu is an early-ripening, non-astringent Asian persimmon variety known for sweet, firm fruit that can be eaten while still crisp, similar to the popular Fuyu persimmon.
Matsumoto Wase Fuyu produces attractive orange fruit with a flattened, Fuyu-type shape. The fruit is sweet, mild, and excellent for fresh eating, slicing, fall fruit trays, baking, and edible landscapes. Because it ripens earlier than many other Fuyu-type persimmons, it is a great choice for customers who want to begin enjoying fresh persimmons earlier in the fall season.
This variety is productive and may set heavy clusters of fruit. Thinning some fruit when crops are heavy can help protect limbs from bending and may improve fruit size. Matsumoto Wase Fuyu is a good choice for home orchards, small farms, backyard fruit plantings, and edible landscapes in North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and nearby Gulf Coast areas.

Good pollinator partners from Advanced Nursery Growers may include Fuyu, Jiro, Ichi-Kei-Jiro, Hana Fuyu, Giant Fuyu, Hachiya, Tanenashi, Saijo, Giombo, or Great Wall. Native American persimmons are not the best pollinator choice for Asian persimmons. Best Uses: Fresh eating, edible landscapes, home orchards, fall fruit production, fruit trays, baking, and local farm plantings North Florida Note: Matsumoto Wase Fuyu is a strong choice for North Florida and the Florida Panhandle because Asian persimmons grow well in many warm Southern areas.
