Does a persimmon grow on a tree or a bush?

Question

Does anyone know if persimmons grow on bushes or on established trees?

Answer 1

Trees that reach 30 to 40'  The Persimmons turn a golden orange when ripe, and then they fall to the ground. The deer love them. Very popular in Asian cultures. If not quite ripe will give you a significant dose of pucker power. Many varieties available, but usually in specialty nurseries.

Answer 2

The normal habit of a persimmon (Diosporos virginana for the American  or D. kaki for the Asian) is a tree, but it can be maintained as a shrub if you would prefer.  

These are both great multi-purpose trees, providing a tasty fruit and nice foliage which turns great colors in the fall.  IMO, it has the best fall foliage of any fruit tree.
