Native Hunter Apples 2023

[BrushyPines]

The following is from my topworking notes. I typed this in my phone for future reference on when to cut scions. I like to put off cutting until as late as reasonably possible. Just a pet peeve of mine.

Around March 30 would be a good time to cut persimmon scions. On 4/6/25 I saw one wild persimmon starting leaves but no others. On 4/8/25 I still could not find another persimmon starting to leaf out. On 4/16/25 I saw tiny leaves on about 1/3 of trees.
In 2024 topworked 5 persimmons at home. These done on 5/7/24 and they did great, but a little earlier on some trees might be better.

Thats interesting. I would've thought mine would wake up earlier being in the deep south.

Bows, Deer Magnet is a persimmon rather than a pear. Blue Hill and several other places sell it.

I got mine from Ryan. 7-8' tall now.

These Prok persimmons are as big as some small apples and the taste is incredible.

Yes they do! I feel guilty snacking on a few when I walk by it. Just can't help myself!
