Looks like a mostly Chinese tree. Is it a named cultivar?

When can i separate twins? How long are they dependent on the nut? I have twins about 3 -4 inch tall

If the spots are in a line is a doe If they are Scattered its a buck

Were you eat'in Apple Slices when you set that Camera up lol

gangster lean lol

What's the climate? Do you have to water?

peaceful isn't it💐🌹🥀🌺🌷🌻🌄🌷

What kind of camera do you have ?

Looks like my backyard and front yard in East Texas

Skunks are predatory ! Animals that have Rabies usually can't swallow, But are more aggressive so IDK. Had one in my yard few wks back and he looked sick so I gave him the 22 mag!! I didn't want whatever he had to transfer to anything else and I disposed of him properly wearing robber gloves.

No problem with the double batch of cicadas in your area? They keep saying on the news how harmless they are, but they fail to mention how they attack trees and suck the sap out of them and kill the branches. A couple of years ago they killed the main vertical leader branch on one of my chestnuts, it branches horizontally now, maybe at some point it will continue to grow vertically, but not yet.

John as an organic farmer who just started a food forest with 256 different type of trees shrubs etc. I admire the detail of this video thanks for making it.

Can you make a video showing us how to cross pollinate by hand to my other trees cause I don’t think they’re close enough. I know I take the Catkin but where do I put it on the other tree? What does the female flower look like?

Very Impressive !!

Appreciate the update walk through 👍🏻👍🏻

Do you ever have to mow in an area like at 19:47 or does the grass top out at about waist high? I'm thinking about buying a couple acres for a future home site (it will be over a decade before I can begin building) to get a head start on growing my oak trees.

hey John, I moved some of my chestnut seedlings outside and swapped them into 3x3x8 containers with dirt from where they will eventually be planted. Many of them have wilted, lost leaves, and started to brown. Any idea what would cause that? I know they have plenty of water (maybe too much). thanks!

"Gangsta Lean" Classic!!!!

Do the sawtooths need a pollinator?..i thought they were self fertile

I ❤❤❤ deer, especially their cute little fawns, & this little buck is too cute! Thanks for sharing your video with everyone! 🌝

Nice update John

You’re gonna love them sawtooths !

Hello John, have you been getting alot of rain in your area? Every other day here so far my young trees are doing ok, good thing we have well draining sandy soil. Your Orchard looks great. 👍🏻

Good job, John! I hope to start making similar videos after 2-3 years. For now, I have only three established trees.

Your trees and property are looking great!

How old are these?

Hi John,, been a while. & THANKS for this video! Sorry for the multiple questions,,, but this is need-to-know- info,,,,, that's needed. I was hoping that you would pick one male & a female blossom to make a close-up comparison. A good friend has 5 huge very healthy American Persimmon trees in his yard but he never had any fruit. They blossom, buy maybe no cross pollination? Now that I watched your video, I'll get over to his place & make a comparison. It Looks like your male tree blossom is much longer,,,,, & the female is wider, with a 'bulbet' in the center when it opens? ?(correct term?) Questions,,,, Will both male & female trees produce edible size fruit? If so, will both M & F 'fruits' produce viable seeds? & if so, again, will those seeds produce the same gender tree? I'm just trying to figure out how I could get a cross pollinator seedling growing, & to make 100% sure it will be the correct gender,,,, without waiting 5-8 years for flowers, for proof!? Also wondering,,,, Do you have any Kiwis,,,, that are producing edible fruits? I have a massive healthy Kiwi growing all over my small bridge trellis. This year, it produced thousands of full grown flowers but the same deal happened to it. NO pollinator,, & all of the flowers fell off. No fruits again. SO,,,, how do I go about finding, making sure that I buy/ start/ or plant an opposite gender tree? (lol,, 3-4 more videos?) BTW,,,, I have 4 very healthy Pawpaw trees growing out back. The hundreds of flowers were just about ready to open & my orchard got hit by a heavy frost. Every blossom shriveled up, & fell off. I only have 4 very small 'fruits' that are still hanging on, but without proper pollination, they will most likely shrivel & fall. Another BUMMER :<(

Can a female be grafted on the males?

Are you fucking stupid? That deer is not big at all and is very young he had all the potential to actually grow into something but you killed him for 12 little points. Fucking stupid

Looks awesome. I have 8 that are probably a hair smaller than yours that I planted as 1 year bare roots in 2017. They were very stagnant until I put them in tree tubes. I am convinced that in a cold climate the benefits of the tubes are huge for persimmon. In 2021 I direct seeded them into about 100 tubes, they've been totally neglected and I still have about an 85% survival rate. Can't help but chime in on your videos. I don't know many people in real life that get excited talking about this stuff. Hope you're having a great summer.

John your Persimmons are doing great. I have planted several this spring and there doing well, have them in grow tubes zone 5A just hoping they look as good as yours some day. 👍🏻

I have to go check my persimmon for blossoms, was thinking they might be to young yet but they are close to that size.

How old were your trees when you discovered they were male/female? I would store the trees in the nursery and up-pot throughout the years for selective planting. I have one year old persimmon trees in tree pots now. Thanks for the video.

What zone are they good for

Really interesting . 3 trees going into year 5 this summer !! Hoping for chestnuts 🌰 finally this summer

I planted some Hazelnut trees this spring with the tubes. They are doing well, but with your advice I will take off the tubes and put some fencing around them instead. Thanks for the excellent video!

Ohhh the "Joys" of repairs....I feel your pain John in things not coming apart easily. I giggled to myself thinking..."made in China"....then you show the "made in China" Sticker.....I'm still smirking ..glad you got it out. 😊

Did you have any problems with cicada damage to young chestnut trees? Here in Missouri I have yet to estimate damage. A late frost wiped out catkin development for a second straight year

I would have tried removing the outer snap ring and driven the shaft away from the inner one. Making it easier to remove?

You look whooped. 😂 Tools needed: Removable forks for bucket. Snap ring pliers One day a rotary tiller. (The are awesome)

Hope you found a good welder 👍🏻

hello

My stratification was a total failure this year. I will use sand this winter as a medium to keep the mold away. I had success with it two years ago

Thank you. New to your channel. I have really enjoyed the video. What would be your thoughts of growing wheat or a similar culture in between? How about clover or berries? Thank you for your presentation.

hey John, orchard looks great! I'm into second year Chestnut trees, all planted for wildlife. All trees are doing well so far. I have thot about increasing my plantings for so commercial profit. What sources do you use to market your chestnuts? Wholesale to distributors, direct sell to local customers, etc? Thanks for your help

Looking good! My chestnut trees in Oregon are looking similar. I do have to use irrigation to get our chestnut trees going out here in the Willamette valley.
