Obtainment — How to get Persimmon seeds
Persimmon seeds are not typically sold in common shop rotations. Players obtain seeds mainly from special chests and event sacks. Common sources include:
- Nutty Chest — ~14.5% chance
- Exotic Nutty Chest — ~14.5% chance
- Rainbow Sack — ~15% chance
Because seeds come from limited chests or event rewards, keeping and trading Persimmon seeds can be strategically valuable.
Crop value & weight
The Persimmon has strong base sell numbers that make it profitable even without mutations. Typical figures are provided to help planning and seed economy decisions:
- Typical sell value (average): ~60,000 Sheckles
- Price-floor value (base minimum): 54,150 Sheckles
- Average weight: 2.00 kg
- Price-floor weight: 1.90 kg
- Minimum recorded weight: 1.40 kg
Use these values when comparing crop returns, estimating garden income, or deciding which crops to prioritize for mutations.
Appearance and in-game behavior
Persimmon plants have a woody trunk with branches and red-orange leaves; the fruit appears attached to the branches. The seed model is slimmer with fewer leaves. Persimmon behaves like other single-harvest fruit crops: plant the seed, wait for full growth, then harvest for Sheckles and a chance of returning a seed through lucky harvest mechanics.
Why Persimmon helps your gameplay
- High base sell value: With a strong baseline price, Persimmon offers reliable income without requiring perfect mutations.
- Good mutation upside: When Persimmon receives favorable mutations, the sell value multiplies and yields large returns, accelerating progression.
- Collection and achievements: Owning rare crops like Persimmon completes collection goals and supports garden guide progress.
- Trade and seed economy: Persimmon seeds from rare chests can be traded or saved for high-reward harvests.
- Synergy with pets and gear: Using pets or tools that boost mutation chance or increase value helps Persimmon reach its full profit potential.
Balanced gardens typically mix Persimmon with reliable, faster-growing crops to ensure steady income while targeting high-value harvests.
Strategy tips
- Keep a small dedicated section of your garden for Persimmon to hedge against seed rarity while preserving slots for faster crops.
- Invest in pets or gear that increase mutation rates or fruit value before committing many slots to Persimmon.
- If you obtain multiple seeds, consider experimenting with mutations on a few plants to chase high multipliers while selling others for consistent income.
- Store spare Persimmon seeds rather than using them immediately if you plan to trade or wait for event bonuses.
