The domestic Asian varieties don’t drop when ripe, they have to be picked. Some of them also ripen much later than wild ones.There is a nursery stock planted field 5 or so miles from my house and I noticed they are still green. Those trees get loaded and the only thing I see getting them are Mexicans at harvest time which is just about when the leaves are gone. Can't believe they don't get hammered by deer cause it's in the country/woods.
Might be an Asian tree? They throw big fruit with tiny non fertile seeds. If there aren’t any saplings around it it’s a domestic variety.I found a tree on a pond edge by a dirt road the other day with BIG persimmons on it ( big as limes ) Never seen a wild tree with big fruit ….. first for me
I’ll take a picture… it’s in the middle of nowhere…. I dunnoMight be an Asian tree? They throw big fruit with tiny non fertile seeds. If there aren’t any saplings around it it’s a domestic variety.
Here is one I was hunting yesterday evening. That’s a Wisteria vine choking it out. I freed it up after the hunt ( dark). This was near an old home place, for some reason those vines gravitate toward persimmon. They passed several oak and a couple sweet gum. It’s usually poison Ivey vines.Really? Most of the persimmons I see are vine free.
My brother did. I’m pretty sure he cleaned the seeds, dried, stored them in the fridge until spring, then put them in dirt and germinated them. Wound up with a ton of persimmon seedlings.Have any of you taken the fruit to get the seeds and started new trees? I want to have some started as I clear various places on my new property so as the opportunity arises, I can plant them exactly where I want them. Just wondering if you've done it with success, what method did you use?
What about collecting small ones sprouting up around the big ones? Any idea on survival rates for transplants?My brother did. I’m pretty sure he cleaned the seeds, dried, stored them in the fridge until spring, then put them in dirt and germinated them. Wound up with a ton of persimmon seedlings.
They will throw at least 50/50 male, maybe higher. Don’t worry about it. Plant them where you want them, and after a few years when you can see flowers graft female tops onto the male saplings.
Never tried. I did try with some sawtooths- found out the taproot is as long or longer than the stem above ground. I was only able to dig up sapling less than 8inches tall, and I still damaged some of their roots systems to the point they died.What about collecting small ones sprouting up around the big ones?

I took someone’s advice on here and ordered 50 from the Ga forestry commission. Planted them last winter and I bet 40 are doing well.
Just ordered some more of those and also some white oaks. It’s a good deal.
you can get 50 for 55$ or 500 for 210$.. thats persimmons.most hardwoods and oaks. didnt know if ok to put link to it or not but duckduckgo order trees from georgia forestry commissionWhat that cost ya ?
