    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

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

      @@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.

    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

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  3 года назад +1

      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 :(

      Some Persimmons are not "self-pollinating" so you might need another plant to "pollinate" that one

  • @johnlord8337
    @johnlord8337 8 лет назад

    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.

    • @Sheila6325
      @Sheila6325 8 лет назад +5

      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.

    • @Greenwashedhipppie
      @Greenwashedhipppie 8 лет назад

      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.

    • @Sheila6325
      @Sheila6325 8 лет назад +1

      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

    How long after planting this tree started to bear fruits. Like your videos 👍

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  5 лет назад +2

      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.

      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.
