I am wanting to plant some. Any advice on time of year , type of location, and how long till they bear fruit?
You couldn’t dig up a couple little ones now and trans plant.You will need male and female trees to get fruit. It's too late this year, but PM me and I will let you know when they start dropping here next year. You need to chill the seeds for a while in the refrigerator, or bury whole persimmons in your yard/beds/pots so they can over winter for them to be viable.
We see them at Michelle’s Rest in Georgetown Ga eating pears durning the day with people going in the restaurant.Deer will cross blacktop roads and stand under a street light eating pears, even with confined dogs barking at them.
I’d say give it a try , I try to plant a few different trees every year, I say if we are planting a tree we are definitely not be wasting our time !I have 3 that I've found on my place it's 140 acres not a lot of woods. But all are close to the rd and I don't get much day time traffic. I was wanting to buy 10 and put them in strategic locations. But didn't know if I'd be wasting my time ?
