Does an american persimmon drop a lot of debris?
The fruit is the whole complaint — one to one-and-a-half inch orange globes that stay bitterly astringent until they go soft, then hit the ground as sticky pulp from September through November, staining concrete and drawing wasps, yellowjackets, raccoons and possums. Leaves are small and easy by comparison; twigs and small branch litter are a secondary nuisance.
How much tree is dropping it
Usually 30 to 50 ft tall with a 20 to 35 ft spread in the open, occasionally larger on good bottomland — squarely a low-cost, climbable removal with no crane. It takes roughly a decade to begin fruiting, so a heavy-fruiting nuisance tree is well established before anyone calls, and typical landscape lifespan runs in decades rather than centuries.
