Persimmons are a novel and interesting fruit crop for Tennessee gardeners. The native species (Diospyros virginiana), called American Persimmon, can commonly be found throughout the South. Although persimmon trees are a common sight in forests and older farms, many gardeners are rediscovering this native fruit crop as an edible species for humans and wildlife.
