It will grow to a height of about 15ft in the first 5 years. It prefers deep, loamy, well-drained soil, but will tolerate any soil that is not waterlogged. The tree is drought-resistant.
The American Indian used the fruit in gruel, cornbread, and puddings and with honey locust pods, made an alcoholic beverage.
The American persimmon mixed with cornmeal can be brewed into "Simmon beer". Vinegar could also be made with this fruit.
