RE: Persimmon tree

Below is a paragraph I've copied from the Green Thumb website. It should tell you what you need to know.

The Persimmon also makes a good plant to grow in containers, whether indoors or outdoors. It can yield an amazing amount of fruit if given the proper care and attention, even if planted in a container. The trick is to keep it nicely watered and to fertilize it when necessary. The fruit can be eaten raw, directly from the plant in the non-astringent kinds, or cooked and incorporated to many traditional Asian or American recipes. Give the Persimmon a chance. You won’t be disappointed.

Just remember that in NSW, persimmon fruit is susceptible to fruit fly.
