I have a persimmon that's about 30 feet tall or more, and didn't even know I had it for 2-3 years, when I found it. It was wrapped up with another tree. A cedar I think, and the fruit was super sweet, only problem is, it had already frosted by the time I found them on the ground, so I still don't know if it's sour until frost hits it. Will find out this year. Gorgeous trees. Bless, Sheila
My wife is green with envy at your orange Persimmons - it's her very favorite fruit. Easy to grow from where we came in Sacramento, CA. We tried growing a couple here near Portland, OR - but no go. They sure don't like the wet weather here. One is gone, the other has not grown and is barely hanging on. Thanks for sharing the status.
When I was a kid, I grew up eating persimmons, but my family property lost them all for some reason. Man, those things are awesome. To avoid the pucker, dont eat the skin, its covered in alum lol
Eureka is one variety I am trying in my garden . got it from Womack nursery. you can freeze them overnight and thaw them , they will be ready to be eaten, all astringency disappears. if you wait for the first frost, everything will ripen at once. be prepared for it.
@@BIGALTX Yes. I highly recommend womacknursery.com/ if possible visit them De Leon, Tx to save on shipping. Family owned and great customer service. They sent me healthy trees. They were bareroot and budded as soon as spring arrived. Great selection too.
I tried to propagate at the wrong season ... too hot. They did not survive. My nurseryman told me persimmons were very hard to root. I haven't tried since :(
Hopefully, all these are japanese Fuyu (sweet all the time). Otherwise, Hachiya and American pucker-tasting persimmons can be cooked/boiled and the astringency is removed. Enjoy! I eat them until I literally get totally sick (like pistachios and avocados).
Normally that's true. Some trees do what they want to do. I seen a wild tree loaded down and ripe two weeks ago in Ky. I have never seen them ripen that early here. The rest of the perssimon trees are no where close to ripe.
Joseph Fairlane Yep, I had that happen to my tree too. It was still hot, and they were falling off the tree, they were so ripe, and the really funny part was, they were sweet. Your so right, they do what they want. LOL Bless, Sheila
It depends. If you buy a bare root tree it might be 2 to 4 years. If you buy a 5 or 6 gallon plant at a nursery, it will probably be 2 or 3 years old, and might produce the first year. Always buy the largest tree you can afford. You'll save LOTS of time.

They taste like sweet cinnamon to me. Ive grown almost every fruit and berry thats adapted to my zone in Texas and Persimmon, peach's and figs are my 3 favorites.
My understanding would be... That our conversation (and our way of life in general) will be what determines our success. I call it "the favor of God". We do our part to honor Him, and He rewards that with blessing. Someone else may have a different take on the proverb.
This is so great to see people still planting their trees and the fruits are organic properly. Lovely persimmons. Appetite! LOL
That is crazy!! Lucky you to have all those persimmons. Love persimmons!

Those Eureka are slap loaded down. I've seen some produce heavy before,but not to where the limbs are likely ready to break. Amazing.

Love persimmons, they are the essence of Fall to me. Make a video of how you prop them up, I would be interested in seeing that.
My mouth is watering!
nice fruit update, good to see a video out from ya,
My wild persimmons are ripening now. I picked a bowl full of ripe ones today. Many more still on the tree that aren't ripe yet, though. SE Oklahoma.
That seems early... maybe mine is just late :(

Good tip.
Womack is supposed to be one of the best nurseries in TX.

What happened to your persimmon tree that you propagate from cutting? Did it work and have roots on it or it did not survive? Tnx
I tried to propagate at the wrong season ... too hot.
They did not survive.
My nurseryman told me persimmons were very hard to root.
I haven't tried since :(
That goat really wants to be in the video!
Cool tree, I don't have have fruit in mine.
You must help the beautiful tree with some support to stopping from breaking?
I will next time, thanks,

I love your golf cart! I keep saying I want one, but my husband is leaning toward a gas powered mobile, like a Gator.
I have a Honda 4 wheeler... but I like my electric cart.
Silent is deadly :)
Agreed!
may favorites Persimmon
I planted one in my garden, malaysia. How 2 get it bloom n fruiting. I planted from a seed n its over 10 yrs though nice foliage.
I really don't know. I've never had that problem
Some Persimmons are not "self-pollinating" so you might need another plant to "pollinate" that one
You, with those suckers you could have transplanted them an grafter from your present persimmons and made more. God bless.

I was just going to say the same thing free root stock graft as many as you can!
Hopefully, all these are japanese Fuyu (sweet all the time). Otherwise, Hachiya and American pucker-tasting persimmons can be cooked/boiled and the astringency is removed. Enjoy! I eat them until I literally get totally sick (like pistachios and avocados).
so just what do you do with your persimmons? We have indigenous persimmons, very small fruit and pretty tart. the deer love them.
If you leave them until frost, they will sweeten a LOT. They become very sweet, but only after it cools off or get a frost. The difference is amazing.
Normally that's true. Some trees do what they want to do. I seen a wild tree loaded down and ripe two weeks ago in Ky. I have never seen them ripen that early here. The rest of the perssimon trees are no where close to ripe.

Масса возможностей к развитию.
You should graft onto that rootstock this spring and make babies.
Hello from DFW. what fertilizer do you use on the fruit trees ?
I usually just use 13-13-13 or whatever I have handy.
I heavily mulched this orchard a few years ago with wood chips too.
@@BIGALTX Thank you. Will try that.
I’m Montagnard indigenous I like this fruit , I used to buy at Harris teeter it’s sweet. Where did you buy the plant?
At a local nursery
Is it damaged by a storm or just can't support the weight of its own fruit?!
The weight of the fruit, mostly.
How long after planting this tree started to bear fruits. Like your videos 👍
It depends.
If you buy a bare root tree it might be 2 to 4 years.
If you buy a 5 or 6 gallon plant at a nursery, it will probably be 2 or 3 years old, and might produce the first year.
Always buy the largest tree you can afford.
You'll save LOTS of time.

Where do you purchase your persimmon trees and other fruit trees?
Most were purchased at:
bobwellsnursery.com/
I got several , love to let people bit into green persimmons(the look on their faces)
why didnt the fuyu have any fruit?
It did... There were around 6 or 8 on there. I just planted the Fuyu a few months ago.
The Eureka tree is several years old... that's why.
more fertilizer,more persimmons, less fall persimmons. It’s a plant need much fertilizer to keep and grow the fruits.
Is this not a tree that you would start pepping the limbs up when it's young?
What do persimmons taste like? They kind of remind me of peaches.
Can't really describe the taste (and probably all varieties differ)... but ... Very, Very sweet!
They taste like sweet cinnamon to me. Ive grown almost every fruit and berry thats adapted to my zone in Texas and Persimmon, peach's and figs are my 3 favorites.
Moral of the story is thin the fruit
Yep... That's the hardest thing to do... make yourself thin out fruit.
Seems like a waste, but it's essential... thanks!
If you could please send me a box of those lol
I would have transplanted the American re rather than cut it off
I think I probably will try to save some of them
I didn't understand today's Proverb?
My understanding would be... That our conversation (and our way of life in general) will be what determines our success. I call it "the favor of God". We do our part to honor Him, and He rewards that with blessing.
Someone else may have a different take on the proverb.
Well, I can't top that interpretation, we'll call it that for now,
Thanks
