Keys to success in your own Home Orchard!
You'll Never Have to SPRAY this Fruit Tree! (meet the hybrid persimmon!)
Meet one of the easiest fruit trees to grow in the Ozarks--and in much of the eastern and Southeastern United States! These trees produce tons of candy-sweet fruit and they are usually much easier to grow than peaches, apples, and other popular fruits!

The juggle was the best🎉❤
Muscadines what are in them to make them a different subgenus? other than they don't look like the regular vines, with draping clustered pyrimide shaped grapes
Muscadines good table grapes?
Some of these pears will not get enough chills in zone 9a and warmer The most resistant asian pear is chojuro pear for me in Northwest Florida and it has lower chill hours than many pears. There are several pears that are missing from your list for the north gulf coastal area.
I bought an apple tree that grows weird. Its branches go every which way. What a tangled mess. It was listed as cala.
I can understand how you might get a different fruit tree if growing from a seed if one tree was pollinated by another tree but would a fruit tree grown from seed from lets say a Granny Smith apple tree, be the exact same if you only had Granny Smith apple trees around for miles or would it still be different? I don't understand how you get an exact replica from grafting. It seems that if you graft a Granny Smith apple onto the rootstock of a Honeycrisp, you would have the DNA of two apple trees running through one tree and it seems that you would get a combination apple. Can you take a cutting of the apple tree you want and just root and grow that? It shouldn't be this confusing but it is.
Hello… Good questions. With apples usually the trees are not self fertile. So they cannot pollinate themselves. This means that the pollen has to come from another tree - meaning another variety. Other types of trees, such as peaches, can be self fertile. But even with these trees, the offspring will usually be quite different from the parents. This is because most fruit trees are heterozygous. That’s just a fancy way of saying that they have a lot of genetic diversity in each plant. Even if they pollinate themselves, all those diverse genes in each plant resort into a new combination in the offspring. So anything that is produced by seed will typically be different from the parent - and in many cases inferior. Grafting is a very interesting concept. I can understand your confusion, but basically you have to think about how DNA is transferred in the plant. DNA is copied from cell to cell as the cells divide. generally speaking, DNA never enters the “sap” of the tree. So DNA does not get transferred through the sap to different parts of the tree. All of the rootstock DNA stays in the roots and all of the scion DNA stay in the scion. So, even if you have a honey crisp as the rootstock, the scion still has 100% Granny Smith DNA, and so it will only produce Granny Smith apples. Hope this helps. Trees are complex. They are miracles indeed.
I just planted 2 Kieffer pear & 3 Jiro Persimmon trees & am setting up a tree house deer stand just to the east, slightly uphill from the 5 trees....
Lol sounds like you haven't grown many trees from seed.... On my parents farm, when i was young, i planted almost every possible stone fruit seed (cherry, plum, peach, apricot etc), apple seed, pear seeds, etc from all the fruit i ate. Id say a quarter of the trees produce inferior or inedible fruit, half produce something edible that can be used in some way, and a quarter produce really amazing hybrid quality fruit. Then i learned about genetics in university 😂. That's exactly the ratio to expect. Nothing is a loss if you have the space. We grafted all the tasty fruits into the inferior tree rootstocks. The inferior fruit usually comes from crab apple genetics or whatever pollinator species was used, and these make the best rootstock. The most prolific fruiting and disease resistant trees on the farm now are the grafted trees.
Yes, it is true that sometime you can get good fruit from Seeds. But even so, they will not be exactly the same as the parent. If you saved a seed from a red delicious, you can no longer call the seedling a red delicious. I have not grown out large quantities of trees, but I have seen firsthand where the seed grown from a very large, beautiful apple produced very poor quality fruit the size of a quarter.
I am a Lorry-Driver, and am always amazed and inspired at the amount of really good quality-looking apples I see growing by the roadside; obviously grown from apple-cores which have been thrown out of passing vehicles. There are a few locations where I really want to stop and try the fruit, and take some cuttings to graft, but as many of them are growing beside busy main roads, it would have to be a very early morning activity! I take an apple to work every day in my pack-up, and always throw the core into the undergrowth of wherever I stop for my break, because you just never know....
This is so interesting
I tried to explain this to a guy selling apple trees from seed😂. Now he has three crab apple trees in his yard. The horses won’t even eat them😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing this
try xena pear, or rasashanskiya desertnaiya
Good information! Keep it coming!
This is so neat! Might have to try that on the wild persimmons around here.
