‘Meadowland’ is a beautiful selection of our native Persimmon with large tropical foliage. We are the only knucklehead nursery you ever heard of to grow a cultivar of our native persimmon for ornamental purposes, but at our age we may just be stuck in our ways. ‘Meadowland’ has a nice shade tree habit, attractive foliage, yellow fall color, and was developed for ease of transplanting.
