Deer Magnet American Persimmon

Nothing Can Resist Its Pull

Another well-known and sought-after cultivar from Jerry Lehman’s breeding program, “Deer Magnet” definitely pulls everything around into its sweetly irresistible “magnetic” field.

Known for being the #1 choice for attracting deer and wildlife, as it was the most visited tree in Jerry Lehman’s orchard of over 1,000 persimmon trees, this cultivar is an easy choice for anyone wanting to draw deer in or improve wildlife habitat. A highly vigorous grower bearing a productive crop of sweet, smaller sized fruits (which makes it more appealing to wildlife), this tree is also a very good choice for those who are looking to personally partake of its bounty as well. Fruits ripen later in the season and stay on the tree well into December, making it an excellent choice for those who are also looking to extend their harvest season as late as possible.
