Description Male American persimmons play a critical role in fruit production for many American persimmon varieties. While male trees do not produce edible fruit themselves, they provide the pollen needed for nearby female trees to set heavy, reliable crops. Planting a male American persimmon within pollinating distance greatly improves fruit size, consistency, and overall yield on female trees. One male tree is typically sufficient to pollinate multiple female persimmons in the same area. Overview Male American persimmon grown exclusively for pollination. Does not bear edible fruit.
