Dollywood Persimmon
Named by Jerry Lehman, this persimmon yields quite large, flavorful persimmons on an unusual canopy of outward spreading, drooping branches.
USDA zones: 5b-9
Spacing: 15-20 foot centers
Grafted onto Diosypros virginiana (native American persimmon rootstock)
Other Considerations: Grafted American persimmons do not require a second cultivar for cross-polination. (This means that you do not need to buy two trees with different names.)

Named by Jerry Lehman while on a trip to visit Bill Owens in Dollywood, TN, “Dollywood” produces copious amounts of large, flavorful persimmons averaging 2 ½ inches wide. Perhaps the most interesting feature of this cultivar is the trees’ unusual growth habit; It tends to spread outward rather than upward, creating a large canopy of drooping branches heavily ladened with beautiful fruits.
