Very nice. Persimmons are gorgeous trees. We got a couple fruits on our 5 year old trees this spring but they dropped off over the summer.

I love eating persimmons and really like the unique bark pattern as they mature. Sounds like your trees are a little ahead of mine.

Beautiful trees John. You’ll have to take up grafting (in your spare time 😀) and graft male scions on to those females so they end up self pollinating.

@@johnsangl For grafting persimmons I found out the hard way about waiting for the bark to slip. I graft just as the leaves start appearing. they are in the ebony group of plants and are capable of reacting strongly to wounding. For my asian persimmons, the non-astringent fuyus are all being killed by a fungal plague. The american persimmons seem immune to it and all seem to be astringent. Astringent asian persimmons are more resistant to disease and the critters wait for them ripen prior to stripping them off the trees. Without the dogs my local raccoons and possums would quickly strip the trees of ripe fruit.

Did you get any persimmons this year? Do you know if there are both male and female seeds in the same fruit? I planted seeds all from the same fruit and hope I didn't plant all the same sex. My trees grew in pots all summer, about a foot tall, and this week-end they are going in the ground, or would you recommend I wait till they lose their leaves later in the fall?

Plant them now. They will do great. Seeds are unique and I don’t believe all seeds are same gender in a single fruit. Someone on here might know more though.

I found a persimmon tree in the woods nearby and harvested some seeds from the fruit and I have about 7 trees growing, they’re 5 years old now. They’re beautiful foliage trees but I can’t wait to see some fruit! I heard both male and female trees have similar flowers just a difference in length.

You’ll probably have some browsing of the top of the tree as it exits the tube but less than if you didn’t have the fencing around it. If the fencing is 36” diameter I’m sure you’ll be fine. If the fencing is 36” long and making a 12” diameter fence, it will be helpful but not 100% effective.

@@johnsangl There other common things along with the persimmons are american beautyberry and poke berry. I have several kinds of mulberries also to go along with the others things. These include the american red mulberry along with various hybrid white mulberries. I have also some paw paws growing. I am not sure if Paw paws will grow up your way, but worth looking into. I think their range does extend up your way.

The seeds I kept in the refrigerator all winter are starting to sprout, I've got 3 out of the starting peat moss with cotyledons, they're in solo cups, do I need to get them into something deeper, do they have a long tap root that is going to start circling the bottom soon?

Solo cups are fine for the first 3 months or so. If you're keeping them in pots longer, you'll get healthier trees if you upsize the pot.

I haven’t done anything to protect them. How certain are you that you have American Persimmon(Diospyros virginiana) rather than Asian(Diospyros kaki)? Asian wouldn’t do nearly as well here in NW PA(can only handle temps down to about 10F).

Did you do a video on planting the seeds? I picked up some persimmons and seeds on the ground this week-end to bring home to plant, but don't know if I should put them in the refrigerator or freezer and stratify them. Did you? For how long? What was the process? Do you have a source I could reference on the procedure? Thanks "If you aren't growing you're dying" !!!
@johnsangl

I don't have a video - I just clean the seeds with cold water and then put them in damp peat moss just like the chestnuts except the seeds are just mixed up in the soil. In the Spring, I put them under the lights and as the plants sprout, I pick them out and pot them up individually. After a couple months, I put the soil with un-sprouted seeds into a designated spot in the garden and many of them sprout over the next few years(so make sure you check back the next Spring too!).
