Will This Persimmon Come Back Out?

[SwampCat]

This Fuyu persimmon has been in the ground for a year and was doing well. Leafed out this spring and then some 24 degree temps hit it - a couple days in a row. Hammered the leaves. Will it leaf back out?

I vote yes..... always an optimist

particularly if roots didn't freeze after 1 year in the ground

keep us posted

Yep

I had one come back. Grew from the roots though. Mine was a seedling, so I wasn't worried about a grafted variety.

Update: Trees above seem to be recovering with new growth

Sawtooths had flowered ( first flowers since planting1/16) and I am doubtful they will produce this year

SwampCat, how bout an update on the persimmon tree?

It is just now forming new buds. Looks like about 75% of the tree or more is going to fully leaf back out.

green buds coming out over most of the tree - except the end 2” of branches. I think it is going to be OK

SwampCat, I'm late to put my vote in but would have gone with re-leafing due to the visible buds that were still unopened... BUT... my own experience is that re-leafing doesn't equal being out of the woods due to #$&! ambrosia boring beetles that are attracted to trees after they're initially stressed.

Hoping you haven't had to deal with the boogers but I've gone a few rounds with them after late cold snaps. Ended up having to cut the trees I saved (figs and mulberry) to the ground so they could resprout/regrow.

None of the visible buds on the tree when the freeze occurred budded out later. All the buds that are now leafing out are new buds since the freeze.
