After tasting a persimmon in 2014, I bought my first persimmon tree to see how well it would adapt to my growing zone. After two years, I was hooked and I now have @ 17 persimmon trees in my back yard that now produces anywhere between 600-1500 fruit annually. I grow half astringent and half non-astringent and everybody loves them. Without a doubt the easiest fruit tree to grow and enjoy. Tis years projected harvest appears to be around 2000 fruit total.
Where are you located?
2 years and productive already?
@@lilyh5151 somewhere in new Jeraey.
Chill bro
I lived in S. Korea for a while, and one of my favorite sights was seeing these trees with no leaves but bright orange persimmons in November/December. Just a beautiful fruit.
Wow. They look so sweet. They are most common fruit in korea. Korean usually give dry perssimons as a gift in traditional day. When it is frozen, those jelly will be healty organic icecream.
oh i though apple was the most common food in korea.. maybe changed? and on what traditional day do they give it??
Dried hachiya persimmon is so sweet and delicious. I made them last year and the ate during winter break, yummm
We've been eating persimmons for a few weeks now. I only like them when the fruit is so ripe that they almost become translucent. My other half likes the small round flat type persimmons when they are still a little hard, because he eats them like an apple but with a different texture. We make smoothies with Persimmons, Dragon Fruit and Mango or papaya with cream and ice....WOW !
The persimmon is the cold-climate winter mango. Totally underrated.
So I wasn't the only one who thought it tastes like mango ..I prefer mango
Def a mango vibe
Pawpaw
I'm japanese farmer.I enjoy your video. i did't know persimmon thrive in US. I grow lots of fruit trees and vegetables.
ノウカノタネTV hei can persimmon grow over winter with ice and snow?
@@weldingandwelder Persimmon is a deciduous tree, so its strong in cold.but if the flowering season is cold ,it
can be astringent because of pollination failing.
sorry im not good at english.does it make sense?
ノウカノタネTV thank you 🙏🏼
Hi new friends here
I have 3 persimmon trees, 1 astringent and 2 non astringent. I live near Washington DC, and a few of my neighbors also have persimmon trees.
I grow a lot of different fruit trees in Southern California. Persimmon is one of the easiest to grow. Nothing seems to affect them. No pests, diseases that I have seen in over 15. years. One of the few trees that doesn't seem to be affected by my poor draining clay soil.
I was thinking about growing persimmons, so now I will get a tree for my yard.
Persimmons are so good! I ate them all the time when I lived in Japan.
This video made me want to have persimmon tree ☺️
I love this fruit !! My boyfriend family thinks it's tomato 😂😂
My family owns a persimmon tree. We used to call it “Chinese tomato”
kkkkkkkk
I love how wholesome this man is
Nothing better than a super soft hachiya persimmon. Take a small bite out of it and then just suckout the inside. It's like a really sweet pudding! I definitely love them more than the fuyu variety
LOVE this delicious fruit, is like natures marmalade, beautiful sweetness they are!
Wow, I've never seen persimmons this big before! They look delicious!
They are Asian ones, and they are very delicious 😁
My grandmother has an orchard in west Virginia it’s funny because she bought the land almost 60 yrs ago for 10k and now it’s worth 2 mil because it’s literally surrounded by stores and malls and people think her land is a park or something so they just go and pick fruit my grandma is super nice tho so she doesn’t care when people pick fruit she’s got persimmon trees like this too
Thank you. Learned a lot from you. My grandmother had asked me to find her some persimmons. We were always in woods. She tried to describe to me. This is the first time I know what she meant. We live in Forked River NJ.
I've got two Japanese Fuyu Persimmons growing on my farm that I will swap Scions with this late Winter,as a matter of fact I think I should grow as many as I can. The trees have a tremendous tap root and I plan to grow these in my old horse pen by my tomatoes and okra.
I bought one at the Farmer's Market yesterday and it was so so sweet! It was my first time eating it and I'm going back for more.
Yes!!! So awesome, I’m glad you found some 👍😁
Damn, I never realized how much I need to eat one of these until today
Their great! I ate them as a child with my father. They are part of some of my most found memories growing up.
I grew up with these fruits as well. My uncle had a persimmon tree in his front yard. When I used to live with his family for college, I would pick one every morning in the Fall and eat it on my way to school. My grandpa had a tree as well and would give bags of them away to all his kids and their families. Even a small tree produces a ton of fruit
I planted a fuyu 4 yrs ago in part shade and it does very well. The fruit is delicious and absolutely no pest or fungul problems. I live on the eastern shore of maryland
Excellent video, thank you for posting. My Mom had a Fuyu Persimmon in Orange County, California, and it did beautifully. One year alone it had almost 200 fruit. It made great gifts for the neighbors, family and friends, and thank yous for the trash men, and mail men and hair dresses. But don't forget to save some for cookies and bread.
I can't believe these are still on the tree in Jersey. I just harvested here in Atlanta last weekend. They are as sweet as cotton candy this year!
Yeah for real!! Nice! Yeah they are, sweet at a bitter time of the year
To have a sweet as cotton candy persimmon tree is a pure goal of mine.
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni I really want to grow a persimmon tree but all the
Persimmons where I live don’t have seeds
John Hill , I’m in Atlanta can you help me grow one of these in my yard?
@@-rxses-979 Asian persimmons are generally female and propagated by grafting. Occasionally a tree well produce male flowers which should be removed to keep your fruit seedless. Most nurseries that carry fruit trees will carry persimmons if they are suitable for the area. I like the Fuyu variety for the flavor avid because they are non astringent. In the Houston area, the only pests I have on my tree are stick bugs and mocking birds. You don't have to ripen the fruit on the tree. You can pick the fruit from the Fuyu as soon as it shows some color, but before the birds show interest. It will ripen just fine on the counter in your house.
I have seen white tail deer eat these that have fallen to the ground and fermented. They are funny to watch as they try to walk. It's like they know what the problem is but won't quit eating them. They will eat them until they pass out and continue to eat when they come to.
I think it is amazing how Tuck likes all the veggies and fruits. One thing you need to know; my lab/chow mix dog named Mocha, used to love grapes. We could throw a grape into the air and she would always catch it. Then one day I read in some little veterinary book that grapes are really bad for dogs, they can cause severe kidney problems for them. I asked our vet and he said that was right. It has been a number of years ago, so I don't exactly remember the hows and whys of the problems it can cause, but I just wanted to warn you because I noticed you were planting grapes and I am sure Tuck would love them also.
I FREAKING LOVEEE THESE WHEN THEYRE OVER RIPEN AND SOFT OMGGGG YUMMM
Here in Japan they remove the astringency by dipping the persimmons in alcohol (drinkable 47% alcohol such as rum, whiskey, or other spirits) and storing them in a plastic bag for 5~7 days until they become sweet.
Persimmons are among my favorite fruits. I have a Jiro (nonastringent tree) that I bought last year. The 7 persimmons on the tree are almost ready to be picked. I like eating them when they are reddish-orange and firm (not too hard and not too soft)!
+Frank S nice!!! It’s so exciting watching them ripen, like a little kid waiting for Christmas lol 😂
Nice, I haven’t eaten many like that I will have to try it out, thanks 😁
James, you definitely should! Just wait until it feels like a peach that's ready to eat.
You are so smart and to the point! Thank for sharing your knowledge. The world needs more people like you!
We have 5 huge trees in our garden. And those are astrigent kind. One thing about them is you should never let someone taste them before they are fully ripen.
Or poor guy will never go near the tree.
We just give them away to relatives.
The way we store them is i pick them when weather guy says winter is coming, just before frost, then i store baskets somewhere cold but protected from wind like garage or underground. Then check on them regularly and pick the juicy ones for kitchen. If storage temp be cold enough they won't ripe all together.
And if suddenly you had too many fully ripen ones just put 'em in a bowl and pay a visit to neighbor
My top favorite fruits are pear, melon, persimmon, fig and pomegranate.
@Phoenix good thing we don't have such problems.
Now that you said i can't remember when was last time i saw one when i was a kid those big red ones would chase me to home they used to scare the shit out of me.
MY GRAND PARENTS HAD A PERSIMMON TREE AND I WOULD ALWAYS GET IMPATIENT AND SNAG ONE BUT THEY WOULD PUKER MY MOUTH SO BAD AND MY PARENTS WOULD LAUGH AT ME. I GREW UP EATING PERSIMMON PUDDING AND WOULD LOVE TO MAKE IT NOW.. WARM PERSIMMON PUDDING WITH ICE CREAM OR CREAM POURED OVER IT. DELICIOUS!
my mother made Persimmon Pudding when I was a kid. great memories. (and we had ice cream on ours too)
This fruits you don't eat right off the tree. They will taste much better sweet and crunchy without pucker your mouth after 3-7 days after you picked them from the tree.
If you peel persimmon and let it naturally dehydrated for half a month, you will get really nice snack that covers with white powder. Taste really good
Prigioni,there's no question ,for me,that the best ones are the astringent persimmons(kaki alla vaniglia);you can find them in small italian produce shops in queens,n.y.And,like you said look for the ones that are soft as jelly!
You’ve earned a subscriber, wonderful information and demonstrations. Beautifully loaded tree as well.
Omg that tree is loaded brother. Learned a lot from ya in this video man. Awesome
+Planting Freedom - athatcher85 yeah it produced a lot this year. Thanks bro 😁
Very beautiful garden and nothing's eles.. your clever gentlemen with good..talent..
Actually it's not really loaded. Big persimmon tree can have up to 3000 persimmons. That one is very small.
@@crystalclear3177 i was showing support, for the size of it is loaded, not talking about how some day when it gets bigger they will have even more fruit. dont come on here talking smack about hypotheticals. his young persimmon is loaded. stop hating and acting like a tool
In SC they grow wild, especially in horse pastures, the horses love them, then when they go to the barhroom the seeds are in the manure, and you will have a new tree, kind of self fertilized, you might say. In the wild trees you need to have a male tree and a female tree to get fruit. We call the male tree a Jack ( I don't know if that is the real name but that is what my grandfather called them). My grandfather also had mules so maybe thats why he called them that, I really don't know for sure. The trees can change from female to male, I guess when mother nature sees a need for it. We do not eat them until the first frost hits them so they don't draw up your mouth. My grandmother would make persimmon pudding out of them which was a big thing for us. As kids we would get on the back of a horse and the horse would actually bump against the tree to make them fall to the ground, and then we would try and beat the horse to the biggest ones to eat. The wild trees do not have huge fruit like your tree has, and the trees grow much bigger, but again these trees grow wild in the woods. The heart wood is black like ebony wood, people will pay big money for this wood for instruments or woodcrafts and inlays in custom furniture down here in the south. I have never eaten persimmons off of any tree other than the wild variety, but they are definitely a treat for us.
I leave my persimmons to bletting process (beyond ripening) for optimum taste. ♥️🌹 Some people mistakenly call them sharon- Sharons are a smaller varient of persimmon from Israel. Thanks for sharing.
those did so good for you, i cant wait till mine are this big.
Yeah they crush it. Only a matter of time my friend. What variety do you have? We gotta connect again, I got some plans for the future.
Permaculture Homestead would like to see a video of you guys
Permaculture Homestead is it possible to grow in orlando?
this fruit are full of antioxidant , it like Noni fruit. can prevent from cancer, tumor.. inside ur body.
Permaculture Homestead i have a tree but they are tiny😫
Hachiyas are definitely found in grocery stores though. I just bought five of them the other day. They are hard at the store, you need to wait for them to soften before you eat them. I like them better than the Fuyu kind.
James has really improved his video hosting skills. Today, he's so much better than this one from 2017. I'm not saying it's bad, but he's just so much more polished today, than in 2017.
Native persimmons in NC are tiny but delicious when ripe. When they fall off the tree, they are ready for eating... if you can get them before the possums!
You should dry astringent persimmons- Pick them while still firm, but leave a little "T" stem on the top. Then peel them, and tie a string around the stem. Hang five or six of them on a string under the eaves of your house, where the sun hits them, and the cold dry fall wind circulates. They will dry and turn dark brown over a few weeks, and get super sweet. A great novel treat for the holidays. (works with sweet ones too)
Or you can pick them firm, and splash a bit of vodka on the stem end, put them in a ziplock for 2 days, and the tannins will have disappeared.
The astringent persimmons have a LOT more sugars in them than the "sweet" ones.
hillbournesian Yum! I like eating them like that too!!!
Oh yess I've seen liziqi does this
Hi new friends here
ohh i love this dried fruits so much, they are so sweeeet and gummy, very appetizing, you guys must try
Yes! The dried persimmon are so good as well
On of my favorite fruit !!! We have tree of it in my old house in Atlanta!!!
I had a good harvest from my 3 yr tree this year. I grow Fuyu, thank you for the thorough demo on Persimmons!
Thank you for your quick response!
Have a blessed life!
Bertha Perales your welcome! You as well
@@jamesprigioni Hi James,
Please could you help me get some seeds. I'll appreciate.
Thanks.
Looks great! The native wild persimmons make great rootstock for those delicious Asian cultivars! Supposedly you can even get a pear scion to take on a persimmon. Btw, they do grow quite well in water-logged soil, you can find them growing on the banks of Japanese rice paddies even. So it can actually be used to add to a wet system that other fruit trees would not do well in. Cheers!
+Cannabis origanum thanks! Yeah that’s an awesome idea!
The pear thing sounds interesting 🤔
I plan on doing a lot of grafting this year
Cannabis origanum I can agree with this, they grow wild where I come from in NC, and I don't remember a time the ground ever dried up. Everything stays water logged there, the whole place is a swamp. And the persimmons flourish
Persimmon trees are native to Texas. There are so many fruit trees in Texas. Pecans, Walnuts, Blackberries, Persimmons, Mulberries, Dates, Oranges, Papayas, Avocados, Grapefruit, Apples, Pears etc i could go on
WesleyAPEX Definitely, though the only native to Texas would be the Pecans, Walnuts, Blackberries, and Mulberries from that list. The persimmons in Texas are a different species to the domesticated, which are native to Asia. I love the ability to grow so many things here in Texas though!
AtoZ Botanicals
I have a pecan tree at my house in Mississippi
Hey man just wanna say love your mlb videos
i thought they were asian fruit manily japanese
@@uzairabdullah1877American persimmon is native to SE US, while the non astringent persimmon trees are native to China. Japanese persimmons were imported from China long time ago...
I am in zone 7. 5vyears a go I bought a 3 year old 5 feet tree. Fuyu kind. It gave me one fruit. But I had it in a big container. Last year I decided to plant in the ground with no success. My tree died after. One moth being planted. Now I just bought another one 6 ft tall same variety. And I am taking tips from you guys on how to plant them and where to plant it. Tanks for the advice. My whole family love the taste of persimmon and I cant wait to have it. Like the tree you have.
One of my favs...have one sprouting out in my yard I'm taking good care of! :) Enjoy your channel...thanks!
beautiful tree. im in zone 8 and many people aroind me grow these. i will plant some this winter. thanks for another great explanation of another great fruit
+Joe King thanks Joe. Nice, it sounds like they grow well where your at. No one has a persimmon tree around here that I know of. Are you south or west coast?
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni im in south east Mississippi. its beautiful but i havent figured out the growing seasons right. hoping i planned appropriately for good production 2018. im originally from RI so its quite different
I currently have a Tanenashi persimmon tree in my home orchard in zone 9b (East Central Florida). Let me tell you that I have personally witnessed the carribean beetle (Beetle Weevils Diaprepes Abbreviatus Caribbean) attacking and eating its leaves. This beetle is the bane of my existence. I captured one once and put it in a cup with a mesh on the lid and then sprayed it with Sevin insecticide. It had no effect on it! I could not believe it. It went several days exposed to Sevin and did not die! No other insect in my orchard has been able to withstand this insecticide. This damn beetle goes after everything from Avocado and apples to persimmons. Nothing is safe from this vermin!
So glad I found your channel. I’m eating tons of fruit and so of course then I started thinking about growing some fruit trees myself. Thanks! I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos even though I’m in northern cal.
My dog loves persimmons, too🐾
They're called Sharon fruit in the U.K. Both types are available here sometimes, but you're never told about the differences, the variety names, or when to eat them. My wife bought some of the astringent type today, because of this video. 3 for £1 because the marketeer coukdn't sell them quickly enough. We'll wait for them to finish ripening, now that you've explained them to us. Thanks!
As soon as you post, I watch it. This is my favorite youtube channel!
+Nicholas Wenzel that’s awesome! Thanks for the support Nicholas!! I always love reading your comments 😁
Nicholas Wenzel right? me too lol
I love persimmon a Korean friend introduced me to them yrs. ago when they are very soft I peel and smash them add some cinnamon, honey take a can of buttermilk biscuits cut them in four pieces put them in the pan add some persimmon due about two random layers then bake. When it comes out sprinkle some cinnamon and drizzle some honey, caramel or chocolate yum, yummy yum my kids love it. You can also make a persimmon tart, cheese cake, jam, sweet 'n' sour sauce the list goes on this is truly and underrated delicious fruit.
One of my favorite fruits.. Always craving for this nowadays ... I always see offers for this in Supermarkets and ask my hubby to get some. 2 persimmons for my dinner ❤️❤️❤️
The old timers use to predict the winter seasons by looking at the seeds. My great grandmother and grandmother use to do this every fall.
Absolutely love this channel.. I'm new here. Thanks!
Nice ! ! I prefer the Hachiya (astringent) kind,but don't eat it too early,lol ! The Fuyu can be nice if you let them get soft,
+Pacific Permaculture thanks! Never had that variety, I would like to try it though. Especially if you say it’s good. Yeah I definitely prefer them soft, so sweet 😍🤤
Этот фрукт по-русски называется хурма! Очень вкусный ! Могу каждый день кушать хурма! Kaki auf deutsch! In Deutschland werden die Kakis im Winter verkaufen. Sehr leckere Früchte!
I have one in my back yard .... I just moved in last year and I guess the previous owners planted some fruit trees and this is one of them so cool!!
Man, that is awesome James! I love persimmons too and am hoping to grow some eventually once my garden is setup. In Hungary, the local name for these translates to Date Plums (probably because how sweet they are). Did you grow this from seed or a cutting? Or an established, potted tree? Just curious because I've read that it's difficult to transplant them.
Hi James, here in Los Angeles I grow Hachiya and Fuyu. Love them, but so do the squirrels and deer. I don’t mind sharing with deer, but I wish they wouldn’t damage the trees. You have great energy. Keep on gardening.
Hey Daniel...you ever have issues with fruit being smaller than usual? I live in Rowland Hts and that happened with one of my trees this year.Other tree was fine.Both are Fuyu.
Arsenio Solis, we might know some people in common; you have any relatives In LADWP? This year I had very few fruit, I think because of how dry it’s been. Other years I’ve had normal size fruit. Have you tried the ag department at Cal State Fullerton? Or UC Riverside; they should have good resources. Best wishes
Thanks Daniel...and sorry...cousin at Edison,dad La City Hall retired and Mom retired old Pacific Tel...dont know anyone at LA dwp.
+DanielinLaTuna hhhh
We had a little persimmon tree out by the cow pasture when I was a child. Apparently, no one knew about it but me. No one cared for it so it was really scrawny. I didn't know what they were, but the looked good enough to eat, so I did. Some were so ripe, they had fallen off the tree.
I love the persimmon that everyone say is astringent when it's hard or soft. It's something about the taste love both ways and it doesn't give me any weird feeling in my mouth.
Eso es kaki?? Es mi fruta favorita 😋😋😋
I hope you keep this channel going all year round.
+Henry Ford thanks Henry. I have some ideas 😉
News flash. Native persimmons grow just fine in zones 5a and 5b and I've seen them in zone 4 producing good amount of fruit as well.
THANK YOU JAMES PRIGIONI.
Never had one, but I want one now!
PHOTOSHOP BATTLES n)
Just make sure it’s squishy. If not it feels like you’re eating chalk. But if it’s really ripe it is delicious.
Love this whn is ripe and cold..japan hve the best persimmon fruit
amelie smith I love persimmons from Iran and Kazakhstan, perfectly grown
eáx.
My childhood home had 3 old persimmon trees growing up- the previous owner planted them to keep squirrels away from the apple trees! We never got to eat any, as this strategy worked well. They never became soft enough to eat before they were stolen by possums.
14K subscribers!!! Congrats..One of the best garden channels out here. Love your rare fruit videos like this one and the pawpaw one.
+Isabella & Jaidyns Garden & Adventures thank you so much Isabella!!! I really appreciate the encouragement 😁😁
That’s awesome to know - I’m in zone 9 b which lately it’s more like zone 10
+Old School Home & Garden with Sasha Thanks Sasha! Really, The winters have been mild? Do you grow citrus?
Hi! Yes, I have a grapefruit and an orange trees on the side of the house. The fruit got a bit burned when it got to 120 degrees here but they made it :) I have had some lower back problems and have not been on RUclips much - it is so wonderful to see how great your channel is doing!!! And your videos are absolutely outstanding! I am so very happy for you!
Old School Home & Garden with Sasha im in zone 8a which lately has been more of a 6b lol this winter has been ridiculous. We got down to 4F here in DALLAS...!!
WesleyAPEX this is crazy! And here I am watering my tomatoes in shorts and a t-shirt in January...
I love persimmon❤
We've got a wild persimmon tree in the back yard. The fruit are about the size of cherry tomatoes with big seeds and *very* astrigent until they feel like jelly, so there's a brief window between inedibly astrigent and spoiled. The dogs and chickens love them.
I absolutely love this fruit. I found your video very informative. Thank you.
Great Video! My favorite is Fuyu persimmon
+Adrian's Backyard Orchard thank you my friend! Yeah the Fuyu sure is delicious 😋
I'm New subscribe to your channel. Thanks for sharing this video. It's really good.
Watching from Philippines.
Awesome Abegail! Your welcome, I'm glad you l liked it. I had a blast making it😄
I am using your technique of incorporating wood chips. I usually just gather falling leaves, branches and any other shrubs which fell or dies off, then burn them to ashes. I then add the ashes on top of all my trees and garden plants. But now, I am going to add wood chips from trees which have fallen over and were just sitting there for years. I'm surrounded by woods. So gathering the needed chips is not that hard. I filled two 5lb. buckets yesterday and spread them around my lemon, orange and peach trees in the container. I'll set them in the ground next year(year 3).
In BC, I grew Fuyu, non astringent and self pollinating. In November, sometimes half frozen, soft, sweet, sugary just melting in my mouth... super delicious!!!
That is my favorite fruit !!!!!
+Menchie Maquiran Terencio I can see why it sure is delicious!!
Yes very delicious!even expensive in the market i still buy many because it's makes my day,week,month wonderful 😁😁
Menchie Maquiran Terencio
Go buy them in the Asian grocery stores when in season, if you have any close by..
sooooo much cheaper & better taste
For astringent persimmons to be eaten hard, harvest them when they're still BARELY starting to turn orange, put the washed persimmons in a VERY thick plastic bag, drizzle cheap vodka on them, close the bag, put the bag in an Igloo for 7 days, then test one for taste, enjoy!!!
alfred astorga it's not crunchy persimmons. It's firm kind of like a firm peach.
To get rid of the astringent taste, put an apple with about 7 persimmons in a plastic bag, tie up and keep it for about 7- 9 days, then test 1 for taste.
Lien Phung thanks! We'll try that next time too! 😁👍
I have planted a persimmon tree in Germany since 2011, the variety is Tipo and I harvest my own fruit almost every November.
First time I had this fruit was in Israel. Could not believe how wonderful it tasted. One of my favorite fruits!! Also, passion fruit...
I don't like persimmons 😂😂😅😅 But I am so excited Watch Ur Video ... Really Loved 😊
Time to raid the neighbor's fruit tree.
good
CHARGEEE WE NEED FOOD
Your channel is so inspire to me. I love what you do and love those fruits and vegetables they do look delicious.
Love your channel man you have so much knowledge. Not like other videos that are pretty shallow on the knowledge bit. Thanks for the education!
I’m glad i saw this video because i was like “ damn this fruit have my tongue dry af”
very nice
Thank you my friend 😁
Thank you very much you are nice
Persimmons are incredible. They'll grow and yield like that on practically barren land. They root very deep and get hooked up with fungi in a big way. They are well suited to stock food as well, so excess is used to fatten cows/pigs. If you can grow these you should be able to run some Nashi pears as well. We introduced both to our country together about 40 years ago.
For the ASTRINGENT type of persimmon to check if they are ripe enough to eat shine a flash light through them. If the light goes all the way through and the fruit is transparent, they can be eaten without the "PUCKER" getting you! If you can't see through the light let them sit for a day or two and repeat the light.
I wish i was there...😭
Me too! I would share
My persimmon tree is bigger than yours. Lol. My favorite fruit..fuyu ones. Love them!!
Good to see you have persimmon tree! I am in zone 7 and will definitely plant one in my food forest when I am ready
Yes, you ar3 my favorite also. I want a persimmon tree, but we are in zone 6B. And about every three or four years temp goes down to minus 5 or even colder. I do lov3 persimmons. Thank you.
+Phyllis White Awe, thanks Phyllis! Dang, that stinks. You could try to put it in a microclimate. Somewhere they gets good protection from the wind, and doesn’t get blasted with sun all day. I’m in zone 6B also 😁
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni Louisville, Ky must be similar to where you are. I will investigate a microclimate. Thanks.
In Indonesia thats call kesemek...
Kaki are the best lucky to be leaving on the Eastern continent!😋
+LaShell P yeah they are delicious 😃
Our family history includes a tradition of Persimmon pudding. Love it. Our grandmother had a few of these trees and would make it.
I’ve noticed that dogs have a particular fondness for persimmon over other fruit trees that grow here in the mid latitude US east coast.
