Troubles Trees
5 year old buck +
Persimmons are frustrating to me here in NY but I know I am fighting nature with them. I long for the day I can eat one, my Dad spoke about the fruit in his military travels when I was a kid and getting into habitat work sent me in that direction for a unique food source for wildlife. I planted 10 non-grafted 6-7 years ago now and every year I lost one or 2, I had 2 survivors until this spring when those failed to wake up after winter. I have babied them more so than any other tree I have planted without success so after talking to Ryan at Blue Hill I added 5 to my order he said had the best chances of someday bearing fruit, I put them in the ground this spring and have fingers crossed.
I'm a little jealous you guys have them growing wild!
