Diospyros glabra
Fynbos Star Apple

An evergreen shrub or small tree from South Africa, this relative of our Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) has odd, bell-shaped flowers, followed by dark blue fruits. Small, densely hairy, pointed leaves that have been compared to those of Callistemon, though I can't see it. 6-9'. Considered a zone 9 plant, to a minimum of 15F, although we have found another South African species surprisingly hardy in zone 8. Unusual bonsai candidate.
