The conservation districts have some good sales. Look around to various counties around you too. I had ordered hazelnuts from another state but cancelled it when one of the local conservation districts had them for a fraction of what I was going to pay to ship them in. Usually have really good prices for bareroot conifers and hardwoods. Their fruit trees are decently priced but I don't think they're as nice as Blue Hill's.

I'm putting in 5 BH Hoosier Persimmon Seedlings in my frost pocket area where persimmons do great but other fruit trees struggle. Any that turn out to be female can be left as is or topworked to a different cultivar. All males will be topworked to a variety of my choice.
Below is a planted, seedling 90 chromosome persimmon in this area that I chose to leave as is and not topwork. This spot is a persimmon mecca.

How long did yours take to fruit? I planted a few seedlings 6 years ago. Slow growers for me. The tallest is about 8 feet and maybe and inch diameter.

I think you will likely have fruit within 2 more years. Most seedlings that get off to a good start will take about 8 years in my area.

You know what you planted? Thought NY and PA are borderline zones for most varieties. Forgot which tree nursery specializes in northern permissions.

No idea. I got them from the Snyder county conservation district. They were just labeled as persimmon seedlings. Just waiting for them to flower so I can figure out if they're male or female.
