Finally, someone is promoting the persimmon tree for every yard. I've grown fuyu persimmons for the last 17 years. The tree looks like it's decorated for Halloween with hundreds of orange colored fruits on the tree. I would add jujube as another easy and rewarding fruit to grow.
I agree. I have a Fuyu, A Hachya and an “ Itchi.” Love my persimmons
jujube when it gets old, it will destroy your yard with its expanding roots.
@@saiket1735 I know exactly what you mean. Fortunately, the lawnmower always win.
I love Ur video they help me so much as a child ❤️
What zone are you in? I've never seen any here in zone 5.
We are in Slovenia and have a persimmon three in the garden of 50-60 years old still in full production.
wow!!!
1977 I was visiting my friend's aunt in Sempeter pri Gorici and there was an beautiful old persimmon tree in their garden.
bravo decki
that is so awesome!
Amazing , I am going to start planting these fruit trees
Persimmons store great. Just put whole ripe fruit into the freezer on cookie sheets, and when fully frozen, throw them into zip-lock bags for long-term storage in the freezer. When you want to eat one, just use a carrot peeler to remove the skin from the frozen fruit, regardless of how you want to eat them. The fruit can be eaten frozen (similar to a popsicle) which I really love, or you can thaw the fruit and eat them at room temperature. The thawed fruit (without skins) can also be put into baked tarts. The trick is that the fruit must already be ripe before removing them from the tree. Freezing them gives you the vitamins of having fruit throughout the year. If you grow a lot of persimmons, it is helpful to have a chest-type freezer to store them (and other frozen foods) in, as this will be a lot more energy efficient to use than a freezer with a front door.
thanks 🙏 do they make a good jam?
@@ByDesign333 Yes. There are many recipes and instructional videos on Google for persimmon jam.
Dried persimmon is also good.
@@erikjohnson9223 Persimmon leather (made by dehydrating pulp from ripe fruit) is really good.
I used to live in South Korea, and one of my favorite sights was a leafless Persimmon tree with all those bright orange fruits still bringing color to the coming winter!
My grandma always made persimmon cookies with walnuts that grew in her garden. One of my favorite memories .
Ooooohhhh those sounds yummy! ❤️
Ohhh, is there a way you would be willing to share a recipe? That sounds amazing!!
@@amandajarboe1131
Persimmon Walnut Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup persimmon pulp
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, salt and spices; set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the shortening with the sugar using a hand mixer. Beat in egg then beat in persimmon pulp. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until everything is combined. By hand, stir in the nuts and raisins.
Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheets. They can be placed close together because these cookies don’t spread much.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for five minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
You can also find recipes for persimmon bread and persimmon spice cake by looking on the Internet. I'm sure there are many ways to use persimmon pulp in cooking. Let your imagination guide you. Persimmon can be substituted for almost any type of fruit pulp in a recipe.
@@billmandaue2168 You are so kind! Thank you! I can't wait to try this recipe! :D
@@billmandaue2168 Thank you!!!
I'm a teacher here in South Korea in the region where they grow the most persimmons. So many different kinds. They prune them yearly. The trees here grow about 12ft and they prune them in a way that the branches grow sideways and the trees look like a flower they would drive steaks into the ground and tie down the branches to them so they grow at 4 t 8ft as that you can just grab them without needing a ladder.
I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOVE persimmons. Such an underrated fruit.
MY. HANDSOME SON. = THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK AND VIDEO. !!!
Gos bless you , you and all of your delicious fruits
Thank you! And God Bless you too my friend!
Dont forget that Jésus is coming soon 😉
oi seu lindo t bem???
@@meedvid7466 yes, minus the winky face
We have a wild 85 year old persimmon tree in our backyard. It produces a good yield every Fall of golf ball size fruit, and I use the crushed pulp to make pudding, baked with flour, spices, eggs and milk - delissh! My husband notes that the tree wood was once valued for its straight grain and toughness and formed into golf club heads. The deer love feasting on the ones I leave.
When I lived in Central Asia, persimmon were abundant in the bazaar and so incredibly sweet and luscious!
Loved seeing Tuck chow down on the beans! He's too cute. Really enjoyed the video, too. I never knew much about persimmons, but I may go ahead and plant one in the backyard!
Please tell me where I can purchase hybrid clippings. geegee6714@gmail.com
How to eat astringent type - dry them. In Japan we peel leaving just the stem, tie to a string and dry in open air. Balcony, porch are ideal - no rain, good air circulation and sun. You can eat them when they turn brown and visibly shrink. Not tacky on the surface, but still soft inside. Once dried they can be stored on the string at room temperature. Nice organic afternoon snack or a sweet for tea or coffee.
My Dad loved to dry hachiya persimmons. He made a drying box (~3' on a side w/a light bulb heat source) & we'd dry maybe a hundred fruit... a 40lb lug box worth. If you start with very ripe ones, the dried fruit gets very dark with a white frosting of sugar & can be a bit drippy as they dry out (definitely put aluminum foil on the bottom of the dryer). If you start with not so ripe fruit, after drying the fruit is more orange/brown. Not as sugary sweet. Don't forget to give them enough ventilation or they can mold. Awesome treat.
In the South it isn't uncommon to find old persimmon trees growing near honey locust trees. The two were commonly used to craft persimmon beer in the old days.
The orange color of a persimmon is probably my favorite fruit color. It's magical.
❤️Tux! Thanks for sharing great videos w/ us.
Love watching Tuck enjoy the garden. Makes me smile.
thank you very much friend. the truth is that it is a delicious fruit. Cheers
This brings back fond memories of living in NJ and my Grandmother's persimmon tree. However, the worst experience ever is biting into a unripe persimmon.
I love the Japanese dried persimmons called "Hoshigaki" the taste is so divine! It has that moist, gooey & caramelly delight taste to it. The Japanese peel the firm fruits then hang by strings to air dry them 6 weeks, they follow a long process but the end result is worth it. BTW, great video & hello Tucker!
Does this kind grow in South East Texas weather ?
Mike, I live in So. Cal and have several neighbors with very productive Hachiya Persimmon trees. The Hachiya is pear shaped and can't be eaten until soft. But it is the variety that works best for Hoshigaki, I just finished the process of drying this years batch of Japanese Style, Massaged and Sun Dried, Hoshigaki Persimmons. I like to chop them and add to my morning oatmeal or just eat as a sweet treat. They are labor intensive but worth the trouble. If you can find them in a Japanese market they will be pricey, $20 > $30 a pound. I usually try to dry a couple pounds a year.
@@kumara5492 I think the Hachiya Persimmon will grow there since it's good for zone 7-10. That's one the Japanese use for dried persimmon called Hoshigaki.
@@bigdogbob845 Lucky you bro! They are indeed so expensive here in the US unless you make it yourself.
I just heard about this process and wanted to try it. You hang it for 6 weeks and then what? Is there an additional process?
James, can you make a seed packet with one of every kind of plant, so new gardeners have an easy place to start?
This would be so great
I was attracted by the title and watched it... and found it's persimmon.
My gosh it's everywhere in almost every house in Japan X-D
Another great video and loved seeing Tuck - he's adorable and we need a garden planner calendar with year round photos of him on! Pleeeasse? Greetings from the UK and God Bless 🙏
I found a Tuck! Lol! Friday morning, as I was drinking my coffee, I saw something moving on my back patio. A little yorkie had wandered into my backyard and was drinking water out of a pail. He wasn’t skittish at all when I came out, and had an I’d tag. I used a shoestring as a leash to keep hold of him. Got linked up to his momma, another street over, and she came and got him. His name is Burbank! That was a good morning!
We just bought land and planted 2 persimmon trees, 4 apple trees and a fig tree, with 3 raspberry bushes. Can’t wait til they start producing! 🥰🥰
We used to eat those squishy persimmons all the time in Korea. You put them in the freezer when they're gooey and eat as ice cream
I found some American persimmon fruits from a trail I was walking today with my mum and took some with me and will definitely grow these from seeds.
Been planting a few fruit trees this year, Mulberry, plum, few apples plus a crab apple. Planning on planting about 30 hazelnut whips to make a small Grove. Your videos help out with tips so thanks 👍
Check out Tuck: sitting there facing you & listening like he’s in a classroom. 😂
Thanks for sharing those delicious crops!☕️☕️😊happy gardening watching from Japan👍🏻🤩🌿
The interior of that ripened persimmon reminds me of these wild roses we have in alaska. Every fall, the rose hips get really big and plump. You can squeeze them out and the paste looks so much like the inside of your persimmon! Nice
I have American persimmons; they're delicious. Kind of like dates, but with a floral quality. Unbelievably delicious.
Im also happy that you can wait until their ripen.
We love love love persimmons! Our tree didn't survive the winter but we are looking for a replacement. Thanks for a very timely video. You are so right! SOmetimes you just have to grow it yourself. Awesome. Thanks again for recruiting new gardeners and gardener enthusiats to the community. Love it. Cheers!
Every video is very satisfying to watch❤️❤️🥰
Glad to hear that my friend 😁❤️
the only thing i wanna say is : I NEED A PERSIMON IN MY GARDEN NOW!!! thx for the video!! greets from Argentina
Haha, let's gooo!! You're welcome my Argentinian friend
Persimmon is my favorite
Yeah they are so delicious!
I lived in fort leeNJi had two persimmons trees in my back yard the other one came as I was picking my fruit off the tree one fell I ended up stepping on it that's how I got the second tree now I'm in SC 8A wishing I had my beautiful trees back I really enjoyed your food forest also you and tucker too blessings to you family
Just planted a Fuyu, then ran across this video. 💯🔥
Wow so many fruit , thanks for sharing , look tasty , love your garden so much
I'm growing the Fuyu Persimmon here in Georgia. They're still pretty hard but they don't have to get really soft in order to eat although they do get better when then get soft almost like a tomato. I love them! It's a great suggestion if you want fresh fruit later in the year.
Tuck is going to live forever since he loves his veggies! :D
Agreed, several species and varieties...and definitely the most underrated fruit in America!!!
I love persimmons so much
Always a delight to see Tuck
Hugs to little Tuck!!
Thanks for helping me with my gardening. I love your energy and enthusiasm!
It is the original Asian type. When I was a child living in rural China we had this kind of fruit every where early winter, still vastly available in china now days. The hard one was eveloped in Japanese.
Great vid mate. You are a well of knowledge
I don't have much space, and live in 6A, but I've decided on the trees I'm going to grow. Jubilee Cherry tree, White nectarines, and Nikita Persimmon tree. Maybe some limbless apple trees too.
I enjoy seeing Tuck so much. You are so good at teaching. I have learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us but more so thank you for sharing Tuck with us! He is too cute!
Very informative video ! Thanks !
if you harvest them still hard and astringent they are perfect to get dry, they loose all theyr "astringency" when dried ang become even sweeter + you can store them easilly
I guess I am going to have to get me a persimmon tree. Your fruit looked so good. We had one tree on a property we purchased many years ago. When I tasted it I thought it was awful. It tasted like ashes and I never thought about getting one. Now I will have to look onto it. We are in zone 9 and we had 358 child hours last year so I can probably use either tree. I took your advice and I'd I buy a persimmon that will make my 32nd fruit tree we planted. 23 we planted after seeing your videos to plant now. We already have Meyer lemons and satsuma mandarin oranges and ruby red grapefruits. The locusts are flowering and we are having so much fun watching it all. This is the best time of year for us. The fall/winter garden is the best.
Love seeing Tuck in all the videos. He must be the healthiest dog I know of with all the vegetables he eats.
Im from the Caribbean and I've never heard of nor seen a prissimon until this video today ... thanks for the insight
Some Asian persimmons (kakis) might tolerate the lack of winter chill. Black Sapote and Texas persimmon (which is more like a tiny black sapote than the eastern American persimmon or the East Asian one) are tropical (Texan, subtropical, perhaps tolerant of Z8 if protected) and in the same genus but have a different flavor. Eat them soft. The Texan one is valuable mainly if you live in a dry climate; plant black zapote otherwise.
@@erikjohnson9223 thanks this was a usefull point in the right direction ill be researching more about this as i do hope to grow one in the near future.
I had seen this video, then saw it when I was shopping for things for my garden next year, so I bought one. I went on this video. Well, I bought a persimmon from the grocery store, thinking I better like it, since I would be growing it. WELL!!! Oh MY!!! It was fantastic! I cannot wait for my home grown version as I expect it will taste better! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 6a USA
I bought some last years at a farmers market and the seller told me to let them ripen until the skin was mostly all red and the the fruit was soft when squeezed. I fell in love with them. Persimmons are a GREAT fruit for the juicer. I process them by them selves... then take the nectar and freeze it in ice cube trays. You can have persimmon smoothies all year long. I think they taste like a peach with honey notes.
Thank you! Now I know which persimmon tree I need to buy to grow in Arizona low desert!
Looking for an old recipe for a persimmon spiced bread.. you can use 2-3 very ripe ones and it makes a very moist bread. In Calif where I grew up..friends of ours had a huge persimmon tree on their property next to a fig tree and pomegranate bushes.. with a large farm house on the edge of other crops. There are secret trees around as well as kumquat trees.. which my grandmother made marmalade from.
It's been a little while since I've been to your channel. I ended up uprooting from Mississippi and had to put away and leave behind everything I had built. I'm in Massachusetts now and get the start over. I put some fruit trees down and of course I'm planning more
your enthusiasm is contagious James!
Planted my first Nikita's Gift tree, back in March of 2021. After about four months, my tree did finally germinate and start producing leaves. Now, the tree is about 3 feet tall.
How long did it take to get fruit? Where did you buy it? Thanks!
@@infinity.1.0 I've still not harvested fruit, as of 2022. It's growing tremendously. One branch is now about 6 feet tall. I bought it, I think it was from Jung Seeds. I bought a grapevine and Nikita's Gift from them. I planted it on March 1st of 2021. I'm hoping to get some fruit in 2023. My grapevine is growing like crazy. I had plenty of grapes this summer.
Thank you James, this is the exact video I needed right now! I found wild persimmons and saved the seeds. They're small but sooooo delicious!
Just picked a bunch of Fuyu's at the project farm today, great tree, low maintenance
You really have have inspire me to grow persimmons I really want try to grow so I just want to say thank you!
I really like tuck he’s really cute.
Yay! You are reading my mind. I was wondering if there was a variety that I could grow in my yard. Very cool!
James Prigioni-you are so awesome! Thank you so much for your great, clear, informative videos!
You are so blessed and I’m so envious, I like those soft ones the best!!! 😋😋😋😋
Hi James. In zone 7A also and are my last green beens today because of frost too. Excited about the fall crop and prepping for Spring next year. All the best and thanks!
Aww my heart ❤ melts for Tuck every time I see him 💕 ❤
There are also astringent asian persimmon varieties as well. My grandparents have a couple of those trees back in China. Now I live in USA and I think the reason we only see non astringent asian persimmons in Asian grocery stores is that, the astringent persimmons when ripen are impossible to transport and would easily break since they are so soft and delicate. But my grandparents sometimes would still sometimes pick astringent persimmons before they are fully ripe, just after they start to turn orange, so that they could get them before the birds do. The unripened persimmons would continue to ripen up after they are picked, especially when you put them together with a ripen fruit. And as they ripen up the tannins in the fruit that create the astringency would gradually break down then you can enjoy them.
I have Fuyu Permissions. And my tree I crazy full.
Those are the yummy non astringent ones, I'm glad its loaded for ya Vicky!
Is fuyu the best variety?
I like fuyu because we can eat them right off the tree. I dont like them too soft. I didn't know there were different varieties like James said.
Love persimmons and Tuck!!!
I have four Asian persimmon trees. This year I got tons of fruits .One of my favorite fruit .
Thank you so much. I love persimmons! Where did you get your persimmon trees? How long does it take to reach maturity? Can they be grown in containers?
Hey, Tuck!
You're welcome April! I get most of my fruit trees from Raintree nursery, this one took about 3 years to start fruiting. And I would think you could grow these in a pot, but you would want to make sure its one of the smaller varieties like this one
Do you ever sell cuttings from your tree?
I love American Persimmons & you're right they need a few freezes to ripen.
They're so good.
My Grandmother use to cut them lengthwise and pot a dollop of sour cream on them & sprinkled brown sugar over them.
OMG they taste so good that way.
My favorite veggies for a late fall harvest:
Leeks, celeriac, kale,
I have a tropical Sugar Apple, and Macadamia tree in my backyard in central Florida
We call our fuyu persimmon tree our Christmas tree because it offers us great gifts each christmas that we share with friends. Our favorite is diced persimmons, Apples and a little honey for a fruit salad. I like to add oranges and Pico de gallo for a spicy change. It's hard to stop eating that salad but why stop when you have literally BUSHELS of fruit.
My mom loves them! And for is a difference between those two kinds. Awesome video
This persimmon verify is my favorite
I buy them per case when I travel to Lebanon 🇱🇧 and I do eat at least 4 pound at once
Lol
I'm a big fan of American Persimmon and I had no idea there was a hybrid. I might consider planting one.
I Love this fruit and is soooo sweet. Love it.
T by ese are pack with fiber 😮I buy the xL at the store and then put them in a dark place to get soften but is so delish
Once Again James, you taught me much. Persimmons, never tried them but there can always be a first time.
Love the plant, but watch out for suckers. They can be invasive (the native ones).
Orange a (Navel orange) is the best fruit should have in your backyard!! And JoJo apples (very rare!, and if you can find them!!).😮😮😮
We had wild persimmons and you had to wait until a hard frost. They were so good.
James I'm in NWArkansas. We have always had persimmons in the farm. The only ones left are 3 that my mom used to ways pick and make persimmon puddin'. Laat year, I found a few wind falls and only a few way up like 15' in the air and very sparse. Same thing this year. I'm amazed they're still producing. Anyway I sprouted 1 from seed and now have it inside for the winter. I plan to out it put in a large container next summer. Really want some growing at my house.
Aww so cutie baby puppy 😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing your video!
I love persimon😋 that soft persimon is sweeter which I love than the crunchy one
I'm here for all of this bliss thank you and tucker too
My favorit fruit! Didn't know they can grow in New Jersey
His knowledge is priceless
I have 3 Hachiya persimmons sitting in my window getting ripe! MY favorite fruit! I love your pup!
Great video, can’t get enough of tuck!! And I love your positive energy ✨
Beautiful garden! I love persimmon. Thanks for sharing your videos and your gardening inspiration.
I don't have outdoors so i can't grow anything, but for sure i would grow persimmons. I'm always so happy when it's in season again 🤩
Tuck is so adorable, those persimmons looked really good
Clicked because I've never seen a Persimmon that big, super exciting!
