Hi there! Could you please let me know where in the USA you are located? I'm in Central Europe, around Vienna or Bratislava, zone 6b, possibly even 7. The fruits on my pawpaw trees are about three weeks ahead. That's why I'm interested in your approximate location - to compare how the climate affects the plants. It must also be said that we had a rather warm start to the spring this year and things are sped up by about a week or so (despite a very cold spell in April, also with frost). Anyways, your trees look really well-cared-for and healthy. A nice selection of varieties, too!

Hello, and thank you for the kind words! We are in New York State, about 30 miles south of Buffalo. We're in a hilly area, so with the elevation we're a good week or two behind Buffalo in terms of the garden season. We're zone 5b here.

@@captiveroots3037My pleasure and thank you for your answer! I skimmed through your videos but haven't seen any of them on persimmons. So that's my tip for zone 5b (if you like the fruit, of course) - I believe some early ripening American persimmon varieties like H-118 or H-120 should be doing fine in WNY (depending on how long the growing season is, etc.). However, what's maybe more interesting are hybrid American x Asian persimmons. Rosseyanka was the first one and I think it is quite well-known in the US now, just as Nikita's Gift (bigger fruits but less hardy, down to -10F on paper, but less in reality, especially if severe frosts last several days). However, there have been new hybrid varieties released in Ukraine (relatively) recently. Dar Sofiyivky and Sosnovskaya seem like a good choice for the 5b zone as they are early and hardier than Nikita's Gift. They should be almost as hardy as Rosseyanka, but with tastier and bigger fruits (esp. Dar Sof., around 150 grams). Check them out. People on forums here in the Czech Republic and Slovakia praise them as very early (first decade of October in our 6b) and delicious. I have no idea, if there are any nurseries in the US offering them, but hopefully they do. I think they are well worth trying.

@@user-dx2qg4ji8s 6 ft on the 4 together... They're growing into each other pretty tightly now so it's like 1 giant tree. That's ok with us because they are doubling as a privacy screen but worth mentioning

They don't, it's well established and part of what makes them unique!
