I double my tubes on persimmons so there's twice as much space around them. Better air circulation.

My persimmons leaf out so late, I always think they died over the winter.

I had great success planting my dolgo rootstock, letting them grow a year and then grafting the next spring. That may be a option for you if you don't want to graft 100 this year.

My 3 and 4 year old TP's have blossoms this year, along with October Crab and Goldrush. Nothing on the same aged: Kerr, buckman, Arkansas Black, chestnut, candy Crab, Yates, for reference.

Thanks! Ill see what room I have left.

I keep a close eye on things through the winter, but my only guess is they got too dry.

I moved my persimmon today. I was surprised by how little roots there were. They all had green wood, but alot of winter dieback.

Looks like a nice area!

Of course non of this applies to me because Im done planting fruit trees!🤣

Hmm, that's a big difference from burying the graft. Apparently both work?

Does that apply to barefoot trees?

I had a couple different 35 Whelen 700 classics. Great cartridge and always easy to get a load to shoot well. However, I ended up building a .338-06 24 years ago and couldn't be happier with it. Its got a bull elk, 2 moose and a bunch of deer under its belt.

I need to decide on a can for my Ruger 77/357. Analysis paralysis has set in there. The only other thing I really need to do is get a new trigger for my 7mm-08 Mnt rifle. I've adjusted Remington triggers for 40 years, but I can't get this one smoothed out.

What does that do?

Me too. Does anyone know what happens to the rootstock then? Do those roots keep growing along with the new roots from the graft?
