Tips
Persimmon trees are the highest-cost sapling at 1,250 coins. Make sure your farm is profitable before investing.
The low yield of 2 per harvest means each persimmon is individually valuable. Consider processing into Persimmon Jam for maximum returns.
Plant in early Summer to have enough time for the 21.5-day growth period.
Due to the high cost and slow growth, persimmons are better suited for established farms rather than early-game planting.
