The American persimmon, Diospyros virginiana is an excellent tree for wildlife and pollinator plantings. A wide range of pollinators are attracted to its blooms, many species of wildlife feed on the persimmon fruit, and it is a host plant for at least 14 species of moth including the regal and Luna moths. Learn all about this awesome native tree in this video, from where it grows to what uses it.
