Diospyros virginiana is a persimmon species commonly called the American persimmon, common persimmon, eastern persimmon, simmon, possumwood, possum apples, or sugar plum.
The fruit has a rich, nutty, amaretto flavor, but is astringent until completely ripe. The ripe fruit is used in traditional recipes for jam, cookies, cakes and custards.

The nectar from flowers provide a significant food resource for pollinator species like bees.
This native species is a quintessential part of any food plot.
