Persimmons

[menhadenman]

And here’s the price list. It was a good experience for me last year. I basically used a spade shovel to make a cut, dumped in some mushroom compost, then stuffed the tree in there. I’ll spend a little more time with them this year. Can’t wait until another 5+ years, my place will be a candy shop for deer.

I have couple of trees around and even before the persimmons drop tree-rats carry them off!

If you ever notice, persimmon trees , for some reason, have vines on them kinda regular. I make it a point when I scout or go check them, to carry a small folding saw with me. I cut just the vine in too. If you don’t that old wisteria and other vines will choke them out and kill them. Poison Ivey vines choke them too.

Saved this one yesterday. The honeysuckle was already leaving its mark on the trunk and the muscadine was all up in the branches. Never paid attention until you mentioned it.

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?

Yes, but about 101 out of a hundred of them are usually males.

Grafting is the best way I've found to do it.
