Rossyanka is a cold-hardy hybrid persimmon that combines the best traits of American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) and Asian persimmon (Diospyros kaki). This cross results in a tree that is both cold-resistant and capable of producing sweet, flavorful fruit even in colder climates.
🌱 Cold Hardiness – Can survive temperatures as low as -25°C (-13°F), making it ideal for regions with harsh winters.
🍊 Fruit Quality – Produces medium to large-sized persimmons with a deep orange color. The fruit is sweet, non-astringent, and ripens in late fall.
🌳 Tree Characteristics – The tree is vigorous, disease-resistant, and self-fertile, though it benefits from cross-pollination. It can grow 20-25 feet (6-8 meters) tall.
🍂 Ripening & Harvesting – The fruit ripens in October-November, often staying on the tree after the leaves drop, creating a striking autumn display.
👨🌾 Ideal Growing Conditions – Prefers well-drained soil with full sun exposure and thrives in USDA zones 5-9.
Rossyanka is a great choice for growers looking for:
✅ A cold-hardy persimmon variety
✅ Delicious, seedless fruit with a smooth texture
✅ A low-maintenance tree resistant to pests and diseases
✅ A beautiful ornamental tree with stunning fall foliage
