    After tasting a persimmon in 2014, I bought my first persimmon tree to see how well it would adapt to my growing zone. After two years, I was hooked and I now have @ 17 persimmon trees in my back yard that now produces anywhere between 600-1500 fruit annually. I grow half astringent and half non-astringent and everybody loves them. Without a doubt the easiest fruit tree to grow and enjoy. Tis years projected harvest appears to be around 2000 fruit total.

    We've been eating persimmons for a few weeks now. I only like them when the fruit is so ripe that they almost become translucent. My other half likes the small round flat type persimmons when they are still a little hard, because he eats them like an apple but with a different texture. We make smoothies with Persimmons, Dragon Fruit and Mango or papaya with cream and ice....WOW !

      @@-rxses-979 Asian persimmons are generally female and propagated by grafting. Occasionally a tree well produce male flowers which should be removed to keep your fruit seedless. Most nurseries that carry fruit trees will carry persimmons if they are suitable for the area. I like the Fuyu variety for the flavor avid because they are non astringent. In the Houston area, the only pests I have on my tree are stick bugs and mocking birds. You don't have to ripen the fruit on the tree. You can pick the fruit from the Fuyu as soon as it shows some color, but before the birds show interest. It will ripen just fine on the counter in your house.

    I think it is amazing how Tuck likes all the veggies and fruits. One thing you need to know; my lab/chow mix dog named Mocha, used to love grapes. We could throw a grape into the air and she would always catch it. Then one day I read in some little veterinary book that grapes are really bad for dogs, they can cause severe kidney problems for them. I asked our vet and he said that was right. It has been a number of years ago, so I don't exactly remember the hows and whys of the problems it can cause, but I just wanted to warn you because I noticed you were planting grapes and I am sure Tuck would love them also.

    You should dry astringent persimmons- Pick them while still firm, but leave a little "T" stem on the top. Then peel them, and tie a string around the stem. Hang five or six of them on a string under the eaves of your house, where the sun hits them, and the cold dry fall wind circulates. They will dry and turn dark brown over a few weeks, and get super sweet. A great novel treat for the holidays. (works with sweet ones too)
    Or you can pick them firm, and splash a bit of vodka on the stem end, put them in a ziplock for 2 days, and the tannins will have disappeared.
    The astringent persimmons have a LOT more sugars in them than the "sweet" ones.

    We have 5 huge trees in our garden. And those are astrigent kind. One thing about them is you should never let someone taste them before they are fully ripen.
    Or poor guy will never go near the tree.
    We just give them away to relatives.
    The way we store them is i pick them when weather guy says winter is coming, just before frost, then i store baskets somewhere cold but protected from wind like garage or underground. Then check on them regularly and pick the juicy ones for kitchen. If storage temp be cold enough they won't ripe all together.
    And if suddenly you had too many fully ripen ones just put 'em in a bowl and pay a visit to neighbor
    My top favorite fruits are pear, melon, persimmon, fig and pomegranate.

    We've got a wild persimmon tree in the back yard. The fruit are about the size of cherry tomatoes with big seeds and *very* astrigent until they feel like jelly, so there's a brief window between inedibly astrigent and spoiled. The dogs and chickens love them.

    I currently have a Tanenashi persimmon tree in my home orchard in zone 9b (East Central Florida). Let me tell you that I have personally witnessed the carribean beetle (Beetle Weevils Diaprepes Abbreviatus Caribbean) attacking and eating its leaves. This beetle is the bane of my existence. I captured one once and put it in a cup with a mesh on the lid and then sprayed it with Sevin insecticide. It had no effect on it! I could not believe it. It went several days exposed to Sevin and did not die! No other insect in my orchard has been able to withstand this insecticide. This damn beetle goes after everything from Avocado and apples to persimmons. Nothing is safe from this vermin!

    Native persimmons in NC are tiny but delicious when ripe. When they fall off the tree, they are ready for eating... if you can get them before the possums!

  • @ConscientiousOmnivore
    @ConscientiousOmnivore 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Man, that is awesome James! I love persimmons too and am hoping to grow some eventually once my garden is setup. In Hungary, the local name for these translates to Date Plums (probably because how sweet they are). Did you grow this from seed or a cutting? Or an established, potted tree? Just curious because I've read that it's difficult to transplant them.

    We had a little persimmon tree out by the cow pasture when I was a child. Apparently, no one knew about it but me. No one cared for it so it was really scrawny. I didn't know what they were, but the looked good enough to eat, so I did. Some were so ripe, they had fallen off the tree.

  • @Cannabisoriganum
    @Cannabisoriganum 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Looks great! The native wild persimmons make great rootstock for those delicious Asian cultivars! Supposedly you can even get a pear scion to take on a persimmon. Btw, they do grow quite well in water-logged soil, you can find them growing on the banks of Japanese rice paddies even. So it can actually be used to add to a wet system that other fruit trees would not do well in. Cheers!

      Cannabis origanum I can agree with this, they grow wild where I come from in NC, and I don't remember a time the ground ever dried up. Everything stays water logged there, the whole place is a swamp. And the persimmons flourish

  • @kiwiwriter
    @kiwiwriter 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Persimmons are incredible. They'll grow and yield like that on practically barren land. They root very deep and get hooked up with fungi in a big way. They are well suited to stock food as well, so excess is used to fatten cows/pigs. If you can grow these you should be able to run some Nashi pears as well. We introduced both to our country together about 40 years ago.

  • @lynnschultz9510
    @lynnschultz9510 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    In SC they grow wild, especially in horse pastures, the horses love them, then when they go to the barhroom the seeds are in the manure, and you will have a new tree, kind of self fertilized, you might say. In the wild trees you need to have a male tree and a female tree to get fruit. We call the male tree a Jack ( I don't know if that is the real name but that is what my grandfather called them). My grandfather also had mules so maybe thats why he called them that, I really don't know for sure. The trees can change from female to male, I guess when mother nature sees a need for it. We do not eat them until the first frost hits them so they don't draw up your mouth. My grandmother would make persimmon pudding out of them which was a big thing for us. As kids we would get on the back of a horse and the horse would actually bump against the tree to make them fall to the ground, and then we would try and beat the horse to the biggest ones to eat. The wild trees do not have huge fruit like your tree has, and the trees grow much bigger, but again these trees grow wild in the woods. The heart wood is black like ebony wood, people will pay big money for this wood for instruments or woodcrafts and inlays in custom furniture down here in the south. I have never eaten persimmons off of any tree other than the wild variety, but they are definitely a treat for us.

Other years I’ve had normal size fruit. Have you tried the ag department at Cal State Fullerton? Or UC Riverside; they should have good resources. Best wishes

    I am using your technique of incorporating wood chips. I usually just gather falling leaves, branches and any other shrubs which fell or dies off, then burn them to ashes. I then add the ashes on top of all my trees and garden plants. But now, I am going to add wood chips from trees which have fallen over and were just sitting there for years. I'm surrounded by woods. So gathering the needed chips is not that hard. I filled two 5lb. buckets yesterday and spread them around my lemon, orange and peach trees in the container. I'll set them in the ground next year(year 3).

    I.found a persimmon in a state park near me but it's straight as a pin and super tall. The first set of branches is at least 15ft overhead. Imma have to come up with some way of harvesting a few fruits from it. I'd also like to take a cutting and propagate it for future cuttings. I like natives, especially wild examples, and this seems to be an old tree.

    For the ASTRINGENT type of persimmon to check if they are ripe enough to eat shine a flash light through them. If the light goes all the way through and the fruit is transparent, they can be eaten without the "PUCKER" getting you! If you can't see through the light let them sit for a day or two and repeat the light.
