The Persimmon ‘Hachiya’ (Diospyros kaki ‘Hachiya’) is a prized variety known for its vibrant fruit and rich, sweet flavour when fully ripe. As an astringent type of persimmon, ‘Hachiya’ must be enjoyed at peak ripeness to avoid bitterness, but once ripe, it offers an unparalleled taste experience. This variety is a fantastic choice for UK gardeners seeking to grow an exotic fruit with a touch of the extraordinary.
