I was wandering around a local Walmart today and noticed the Chestnut leaf, so I walked over to inspect the trees. As I was walking towards them (chestnuts) I noticed a bunch of trees that had an apple leaf look. I thought it was odd for them to have apple trees inside. I flipped the tag and those trees and it said Chestnut Hill tree farm persimmon. I had a persimmon before and it tasted horrible and I would have to think the deer would eat them as a last resort to apples. And more, I couldn't believe they are trying to market persimmons that aren't cold hardy in the north.
I think Chestnut Hill should be ashamed of themselves for selling/shipping these trees up north. But, I would expect Walmart to be irresponsible enough to sell them. I hope whomever purchases them gets a warranty and claims the warranty next spring.
