A taste of cinnamon in your garden
Imagine harvesting a tree with delightful, sweet fruit that boasts a unique, cinnamon-like flavor—perfect for snacking or culinary delights. This variety produces a brown and speckled flesh when pollinated, offering blissfully crisp and crunchy textures at firm ripeness. As it ripens further, the sweetness intensifies, creating an irresistible treat. With its robust growth and non-astringent qualities, this tree invites both novice and experienced gardeners to enjoy its rewards.
Not only does this tree flourish in a garden setting, but it also benefits from companionship. Planting it alongside another variety, such as the Chocolate Persimmon, encourages a more abundant yield, making it a great option for those looking to maximize their harvest. Integrating this tree into your landscape not only adds visual interest with its lush foliage but also enhances your culinary adventures with its delicious fruit.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil to plant your tree. Dig a hole that is twice the width and depth of the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the graft union is above soil level. Backfill gently, watering thoroughly afterward.
2. Watering: Water your tree regularly during the first year, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, it prefers moderate moisture; avoid overwatering, which could lead to root rot.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a balanced shape and promote good air circulation. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to encourage healthy growth.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support growth. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for application rates, and consider using organic options for a gentle nutrient supply.
