Caucasian persimmon or date-plum, or lilac persimmon / Diospyros lotus - a plant of the Ebenaceae family, a species of the genus Persimmon, growing in the subtropical regions of Eurasia. The range of this species extends from Japan through China and Northern India to the western Mediterranean, all the way to Spain. The tree grows in the lower and middle mountain zones, in the Caucasus usually up to 600 m above sea level, in Central Asia it rises higher - up to 2000 m.

It rarely forms pure stands; it usually grows together with hackberry, ash, maple and other deciduous species. It is not demanding on the soil, it can grow on rocky slopes, but it is light-loving, so it is well cleared of branches, which gives its trunks a majestic columnar appearance.

A tree 15-20 meters high with bark that crumbles as it ages.

The leaves are shiny, leathery, oval in shape with a pointed end, 5-15 cm long and 3-6 cm wide. The flowers are small greenish and appear in June-July.

The fruits are berry-shaped with juicy pulp, yellow when ripe, 1-2 cm in diameter. Seeds with thin skin and very hard endosperm.

The fruits of Caucasian persimmon are edible and contain a lot of sugars, malic acid and vitamins. They are used for food fresh, frozen, and often dried. Drying and frost destroy their astringency.
