Diospyros Kaki - Khaki - 29 cm

Diospyros kaki (persimmon) deciduous and fruiting bonsai trees, much prized for their distinctive bright orange, ornamental and decorative autumn fruits, which stand out to great effect on bare branches. It produces a delicate cream-coloured blossom in spring, followed in summer by large, glossy, slightly leathery, deep green leaves that turn a beautiful yellow-orange shade in autumn before dropping. It is generally a self-fertile plant, but fruiting may vary depending on growing conditions and pollination. The bare winter structure highlights the elegant, fine, well-distributed branching. It has a sinuous, well-proportioned trunk with harmonious movement and mature bark that conveys solidity and naturalness. The nebari is stable and well set, giving balance and scenic presence to the whole. Cultivated in a cream-coloured glazed stoneware pot, its rounded shape with slight vertical grooves and raised feet, with its soft and elegant lines, enhances the plant's setting and emphasises its refined character, creating a harmonious whole with great aesthetic impact.
