Some are useful as ornamentals and many are of local ecological importance. Species of this genus are generally dioecious, with separate male and female plants.

==Taxonomy and etymology== The generic name Diospyros comes from a Latin name for the Caucasian persimmon (D. lotus), derived from the Greek διόσπυρος : dióspyros, from diós () and pyrós (). The Greek name literally means 'Zeus's wheat' but more generally intends 'divine food' or 'divine fruit'.
