Description
Diospyros kaki 'Sharon' (also known as 'Triumph' and 'Sharoni') is a variety of persimmon tree cultivated on a large scale, with its fruits found on many stalls in autumn and winter. When ripe, its flattened persimmons are orange in colour and have a characteristic ribbed and slightly square shape. They are appreciated for their soft and very sweet flesh, which has few seeds. This fairly vigorous tree is highly productive and provides a regular harvest from year to year. The persimmons are harvested from late October to early November.
'Sharon' belongs to the category of astringent persimmon trees, meaning they are only edible when over-ripe with a soft texture. This happens after being exposed to a light frost. This variety produces medium-sized fruits with thin skin and a fairly fine pulp. The tasty flesh is very sweet when fully over-ripe. The fruits can be cooked into jam or compote, eaten raw in salads with or without cream, or dried in the same way as figs. Explore all the different ways to discover their various flavours.
Diospyros kaki belongs to the Ebenaceae family, like ebony (D. ebenum), with which it shares a common feature: very hard wood. Its name comes from the combination of the Greek words "Dios" (God) and "Pyros" (wheat). It originates from the Far East, particularly from southern China.
It develops a rounded habit, reaching a height of 6 to 10m (20 to 33ft) and a width of 5 to 7m (16 to 23ft). Its growth rate is rather slow. The shiny green leaves are elongated, measuring about 15cm (6in) long.
'Sharon' is hardy to -15°C (5°F), although occasional severe frosts in eastern regions can weaken it. It is a self-fertile variety. The flowering is late, appearing in May-June, in the form of small insignificant yellow flowers that are pollinated by insects.

Planting and care
Plant in autumn-winter, outside the freezing period, or alternatively in spring, with regular watering. Choose a sheltered and sunny location. It thrives in all types of soil, preferably with an acidic tendency (it fears excess limestone). It thrives in well-drained and rich soils, and tolerates water shortage fairly well in summer, especially in deep soil. Space them 5 to 7m (16 to 23ft) apart in all directions.
Soak the root ball in water for a few moments before planting. Dig a hole 3 to 4 times the volume of the root ball, making sure to separate the bottom soil from the top soil. Mix the bottom soil with crushed horn and well-rotted compost or potting soil, then pour this mixture into the planting hole. Install a stake. Place the root ball, without burying the collar, cover with the top soil and firm it down. Form a basin around the base and water generously. Attach the stake to the plant, crossing the tie in the shape of an 8, without touching the trunk. Water regularly in the first year and then as needed, mainly in case of high temperatures.
Apply well-rotted compost every year in spring by raking it into the surface, taking care not to damage the roots.
It is less susceptible to diseases and pests.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
