The Persimmon is a legendary crop introduced in the Chubby Chipmunk Event on October 4, 2025. This special event brought several new items and seeds to Grow a Garden, but the Persimmon quickly became one of the most sought-after due to its rarity and value.
Appearance
The Persimmon has a distinctive design that reflects its high-tier status:
- Persimmon Produce: A bright orange-red fruit with a brownish stem and small green leaves sprouting sideways.
- Persimmon Crop: A sturdy brown trunk branching out with red-orange leaves, similar to the Mango tree.
- Persimmon Seed: A smaller version of the fruit, skinnier and with fewer leaves.
Its vibrant appearance makes it a standout addition to any player’s garden.
The Persimmon is a rare and rewarding addition to any player’s collection in Grow a Garden. Whether you’re farming for profit or completing your legendary crop set, this event-exclusive seed is well worth the effort. To increase your chances of finding Nutty Chests and other special rewards, make sure to buy Grow a Garden pets — they can help you collect items faster and make your garden even more lively and productive.
Obtainment
The Persimmon seed cannot be purchased from the Seed Shop. Instead, it can only be obtained during the Chubby Chipmunk Event through special chests and sacks.
You can get Persimmon seeds from the following sources:
| Source | Chance to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Nutty Chest | 14.5% |
| Exotic Nutty Chest | 14.5% |
| Rainbow Sack | 15% |
To get Nutty Chests, players must participate in the Chubby Chipmunk Event. Here’s how:
- Obtain a Chubby Chipmunk Pet
You can get one for free from the center of the island. - Feed Your Chipmunk Fruit
Every time it eats, an acorn spawns somewhere on the island. Acorns can contain Nutty Chests—rarely, they might even contain two. - Reach Weight Milestones
As your Chubby Chipmunk gains weight, you can claim milestone rewards at the Unclaimed Rewards sign. Some of these rewards may include Nutty Chests.
Why Persimmon is Valuable
The Persimmon is a multi-harvest crop, meaning you can continue to harvest it multiple times after planting. It remains in your garden indefinitely and can be sold repeatedly for profit. However, it cannot be obtained from Lucky Harvests or through pets like the Red Fox or dogs, since those mechanics don’t apply to event-exclusive seeds.
