Native. What a benefit you are to this board.
I need some teaching about persimmons, and any fruit tree for that matter. Please explain it like I am a five year old!!
I bought my farm 4 years ago, was old family property of my wife’s family…long story for another day. My property is an hour from my house so I have to rely on other people some, which doesn’t work out all the time. I was not happy with the loggers which took 3 years to finish. I have been reclaiming and restoring the land for last year and a half. 300 acres.
I have planted some Dunston chestnuts and deer magnet/candy persimmon. But while I’m clearing timber and such I have found a ton of persimmon shoots coming up. What is the best way to manage these native/American persimmon root shoots?
I know nothing of grafting or this top working you speak of.
Most of the shoots at 2-4’ tall, but some are 8-10 feet tall. You can see one of them sticking up in this pic.
Thanks I’m advance. Yoder I would like your input too.
