Persimmon MAY 2023 Grafts
Persimmon MAY 2023 Grafts
Persimmon is one of my favorite fruits! And the trees are so beautiful.
I have again collected a large selection for sale this year. I do not know when I will have have all these selections again.
I first tasted American persimmons when I was young. They were wild and growing somewhere on the Delmarva Peninsula. They were fully formed, but still on the tree, and not ripe. They were very astringent. I tasted some that were good over the years, and Asian persimmons that were ok. I didn't get to taste a really great American Persimmon until 2015, 40 years later. I was at John Hershey's Farm in Downingtown, PA. I was floored at how fabulous they were. I was hooked big time. I started studying the history and culture of them at that point. Since then, I have traveled far and met as many folks as possible with persimmon orchards. Trying to understand the flavors and qualities of these great American persimmons. Along with the grafted trees, , I am growing thousands of Persimmons from seed from all over the northern part of the country. I am blessed to be getting education and germplasm from some amazing growers!.
I am trialing them all in zone 4!!!!
These are container grown plants and will be ready for shipping in September/October. I would recommend SPRING planting in zone 5 and colder. No guarantees for grafted plants that are fall planted in zone 5 and colder.
For those of you in zone 6 and warmer, fall planting should be fine. Please note SPRING shipping in the comments sections on the order if you are in zone 5 or colder
