My Persimmon is called "Fuyu". It took 5 years before it's first fruit starting from a 5 foot baby tree. At 6 years it's currently loaded with lots of fruit.
The good thing about the Persimmon tree you will never have any issues with disease or bugs and I live in Houston, Texas. It can also tolerate temperatures down -5F. It also does not require a lot of water to maintain good growth. The perfect fruit tree ....
Wow I’m so getting one. I live in a cool temperate zone so I’m thinking I can grow these now. I never even tried cos I thought it would be too cold here for them.
I too love this fruit. We grew up harvesting what we know as wild persimmons.The fruit is smaller and highly nutritive.puddings,purees, pies,and breads. And yes they have to be ripe. The deer love them too...
Great video! I planted a fuyu persimmon year & a half ago gave twenty fruits last year this year It more than tripled I couldn't believe it. Thanks very much for sharing the info.
Thank you. You look so snugly too presenting your cute hair and beard and that you love fruits! You taught me that persimmons grow in my area, so I am going to buy some.
In South Florida, I am growing a Nishimura Wase "Coffee Cake" Persimmon and I've grafted onto it a couple of branches of Chocolate which can have male flowers for pollination. It seems to be doing all right. I had 3 fruits in the first year, and 2 fruits hanging on this year. I hear Persimmons take 7-10 years to develop full crop. I don't think you'd be limited to just those two varieties you mention. Also regarding those shoots you took off, maybe that was a grafted tree and they came out from the roots rather than from seeds. Usually the root stock is Native American Persimmon 'Diospyros virginiana" which is a very strong grower.
In California they got 2 different kind of persimmon One is FUYU and the other one HASHIYA. Hashiya persimmon is good when it's fully ripe or soft or else is gonna be bitter but the FUYU is the best variety you can eat and it's best to eat ripe but hard and it so sweet and juicy. My fruit tree is FUYU and it's been 5yrs now and produce a lot of fruits harvest time is around Sept and October and my tree is only 6ft tall your persimmons is look like FUYU and it look like ready already when it's orange color and when you wipe the fruits is shiny it's ready already
The two kinds of persimmons: astringent (which you can only eat when soft) and non-astringent (which you can eat hard and crisp). There are many more varieties of persimmons than just Fuyu and Hachiya. I was a huge fan of Hachiya persimmons when I lived in CA. The fruit can get very large (a couple lbs., I'd say), and the trees can reach twenty feet.
After watching this video only I came to know this is edible fruit. Here in our place there's tons of this in the wild pushes and is starting to ripe... Scence is so good 👍.
I planted a 5 G size Fuyu 5 years ago, it grew slowly, began to produce about 3 dzs of fruits last year, so be patient, you will be rewarded with these wonderful fruits.
I have some that look just like those but they are called Fuyu you can eat them right from the tree they are non-astringent, the other I have is astringent and called Hachiya , then the third one is one like yours, I never did know the name of them
I was thinking of getting rid of mine( Fuyu). It's so slow growing and the fruit is smaller each yr. I will mulch the area for next yr and see how it does .
I’m in S. California. I bought some persimmons at the store and going to try and grow from seed. Been pretty good at growing other seeds from fruit 🤷🏼♀️
I really like asian fruit trees.. started with some asian pear trees gaint kor they havent fruited yet but i hoping they fruit next year. I like the asian persimmon. gonna try mangos indoor though got 2 coming! dwarfs
I'm in zone 9 b, ill be posting a new video for my channel soon. i have a saijo and a masumoto. the saijo is over ten feet tall in 3 years good first crop, the masumoto is a slow grower.
Used to be a persimmon tree near me growing up….it was 25-30’ tall with an 8” trunk. Don’t know what variety, definitely astringent. So many fruit it could fill up a wheelbarrow.
Scott Burgle, that most likely was our native American Persimmon. They have the smallest persimmons at only about a 1" wide fruit. They are great for wildlife food plots.
I love persimmons too.. I have the wild persimmon tree in my backyard. You have to have a male and female tree with that.. this year it was not very plentiful.
You guys get alot of water, in North Texas I find that Persimmon can survive better than other fruit trees with less water, luckily since I do not have automatic watering setup yet, they have endured.
We love persimmon, especially the non-astringent persimmons. On that note, we love the astringent ones too, but mostly in dehydrated forms instead of the messy fresh ripen. Most Cambodian home, if there is just a tiny corner to put a little tree, we put non-astringent persimmon tree.
What kind of mango is the one with the new leaves coming out purple? I’ve only had a persimmon one time and it was so astringent lol. Guess I’ll have to give it another try if you say they’re good!
Wild persimmon are not fully ripe until they fall from the tree. They should be very soft when ripe. Of course you know a green persimmon will turn your mouth inside out. Wild persimmon fruit are much smaller. Yours look great!
I am assuming persimmon trees are grafted onto native persimmon rootstock (virginiana) in Florida as is recommended in most of the southeast? Do you know if the native types grow in south FL? Some of the natives also have great fruit.
Florida isn’t in “the tropics”. The whole state is in the subtropics, along with the rest of the southern US. Subtropical literally means outside the tropics. Florida is subtropical aka mild-winter temperate hence why we experience near 100 degrees in summer and 40 degrees in winter. The tropics don’t experience a big temperature difference like that.
south central ketucky........ now ( mid october) the persimmons are dropping indicating the ripeness as the squirrels love them...............i just cant figure out how to seperate the nuts from the fruit portion. hardest damnest nut i ever encountered.
This year was my best crop ever of Fuyu's but the acorn woodpeckers did a real number on them now that they've ripened. I'm also in a extremely dry climate here in Northern California. My home is 800 ft above the valley floor so it's very rare to get below freezing and even then it's only for an hour or two. The summers are very hot and dry and the soil is so well drained that in order to keep the fruit on the tree I have to water the tree every 5 hours around the clock starting in late spring to mid-november otherwise the fruit will just drop off. I do have to say this year they are good size fruit at 3 1/2 to 4 in. in diameter. My plan is to move to a cooler foothill location with a better soil than I have now.
Yeah I would be adding things to the soil that hold water. That’s insane having to water so much. Must cost you heaps in water fees? We have to pay for water in Australia I don’t know if you guys do in the US?
I bought so many i never received them. I love the fruit but i never received them. I am waiting on one to be delivered from 10/18 to 10/25 . I do not received it. Thank you for sharing.
They didn't need to change the name, but I think you're right. Why don't they give more of their mangos names instead, like M-4, 80, P-22, O-15, 40-26, etc.?
One day I'd like to talk to you regarding the plans can you please give me your phone number Like to talk to you about the frost coming in Winter how we can protect it all of our trees

My Persimmon fruit is almost ready. I love Persimmon....I'm fighting birds for my share ... LOL

Not every year, but enough, we get, and stay, below that -5... and our wild ones are prolific
I too love this fruit. We grew up harvesting what we know as wild persimmons.The fruit is smaller and highly nutritive.puddings,purees, pies,and breads. And yes they have to be ripe. The deer love them too...
I grew to dislike this larger fruit variety.but I lovewhat I see you have there.I would like to try those here in NC...

Paul… put the near ripe astringent persimmon in the freezer overnight, take out, let thaw and eat… freezing kills astringency. 😉
Yes true I've done that in the past
I have some that look just like those but they are called Fuyu you can eat them right from the tree they are non-astringent, the other I have is astringent and called Hachiya , then the third one is one like yours, I never did know the name of them
I was thinking of getting rid of mine( Fuyu). It's so slow growing and the fruit is smaller each yr.
I will mulch the area for next yr and see how it does .
I have the Fuyu and giant Fuyu, the wind knocked off blossoms this Spring in SE Georgia. My Hachiya produced 16 fruits this season
I’m in S. California. I bought some persimmons at the store and going to try and grow from seed. Been pretty good at growing other seeds from fruit 🤷🏼♀️
I hav planted 2 plants. 1 dried but rejuvinated. Hope will be fruiting nxt yr. Lost 1 few yrs back
Nice sharing friend
I really like asian fruit trees.. started with some asian pear trees gaint kor they havent fruited yet but i hoping they fruit next year. I like the asian persimmon. gonna try mangos indoor though got 2 coming! dwarfs
I'm in zone 9 b, ill be posting a new video for my channel soon. i have a saijo and a masumoto. the saijo is over ten feet tall in 3 years good first crop, the masumoto is a slow grower.
Hey, I still have perssimons on my tree. Good video👍🏼
They grow wild here in NC and don’t know what kind but they do produce lots of fruit when I see a tree
I would have grafted a few of the branches with the seedling to see what happens.
Used to be a persimmon tree near me growing up….it was 25-30’ tall with an 8” trunk. Don’t know what variety, definitely astringent. So many fruit it could fill up a wheelbarrow.

Can that persimmon tree grow in the northern caribbean Islands. I would love to add one to my food forest.
should be able to
What kind of mango is the one with the new leaves coming out purple?
I’ve only had a persimmon one time and it was so astringent lol. Guess I’ll have to give it another try if you say they’re good!
give it another try they are amazing
I grow mainly astringent because fuyu gets eaten by squirrels.
Unfortunately they really aren’t that cold hardy further than zone 5. I guess it’s all relative. Wish I could grow them.
Fuyu is my favorite.
Wild persimmon are not fully ripe until they fall from the tree. They should be very soft when ripe. Of course you know a green persimmon will turn your mouth inside out. Wild persimmon fruit are much smaller. Yours look great!

south central ketucky........ now ( mid october) the persimmons are dropping indicating the ripeness as the squirrels love them...............i just cant figure out how to seperate the nuts from the fruit portion. hardest damnest nut i ever encountered.
Does any body know where can I buy wholesale persimmons fruit's ? Let me know please .
seems everyone is out at the moment
I love them but i just hate they only bare fruit in October

Put mulch around it to keep sun off. An holed water in the ground
@@thomascurran4606 I was going to say the same thing.

To make matters more confusing, it's my understanding that Zill's changed the name of the south florida to tropical persimmon
They didn't need to change the name, but I think you're right. Why don't they give more of their mangos names instead, like M-4, 80, P-22, O-15, 40-26, etc.?
Beloved did someone cross the naseberry with a large tomato to get the prisisom?
If you bury the rootstock, it will grow taller, whereas if you bury below the rootstock it will grow short.
How do they do in central Florida… Kissimmee?
not sure but I think they would do well. Worth a try
Shalom ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Will this be available online? I dont see the fruit or trees available
the trees when he has them
Wow 🤩
Dig a small hole. Put chopped up banana peels into it. Cover it. Your fruit trees will love it!!!
Armenians love them too. Yummm
I live in California and I prefer Fuyo 👍
BTW, you should use snips to cut them off, your destroying the end, lol.
These wild trees grow up to 25 ft or more...
Sir, would you be so kind and please sell me a couple seeds from your Black Gold Jackfruit?
no fruit on it now
Do you have a guava tree?
no, not my favorite fruit
Can you grow these in containers?
for a while yes
@@FruitfulTrees Thanks!
Where can I order the persimmon trees
all the nursery's down here have them but are sold out at the moment
Can I get the seedlings?
I don't have at this time
will It grow in Jamaica. Good evening.
shoul
d grow there if it grows in South florida
Grow yes, but will it fruit? Jamaica doesn't get as many cold nights as South Florida so maybe you get some fruit but maybe not many
Persimmon cookies!!!!!!
Maybe that’ tree needs another nearby for cross pollination!
In similiar circumstance take the tree out from the ground and put it somewhere, you never know. No need to butcher it like that.
suspicious the seedlings may be suckers from the rootstock. good you removed them
Somebody’s horse is chewing on a live mic about 15 minutes into it
hey man can you sell me seeds?
I don't have seeds at the moment and I'm not sure they would fruit well from seeds. What I have is grafted.
@@FruitfulTrees inform me when you have seeds. if you like seeds i can give you free if you sell me. i prefer those that can be grown in containers.
Be aware you get constipation when eating persimmon !
Too long. Stick to topic
I hate to see fruits being stung by flies
Learn how to pick your fruit guy. You are bruising the fruit. Cut the fruit on the stem with sharp scissors.
Most people would love to have a property in the tropics just to have coconuts that grows nowhere else and you cut down yours ..
I love coconuts but the trees were too tall and getting taller
I thought persimmon is vine ???
No it's a tree
Thank you for reply I watch all your video This is my hobby also
One day I'd like to talk to you regarding the plans can you please give me your phone number Like to talk to you about the frost coming in Winter how we can protect it all of our trees
