How are your cherimoya trees doing? 😊 Studies say not all the seeds in the cherimoya grow edible fruit trees. Have your trees fruited this past spring? Could you make an update video? Thank you ☺️

I planted 8 Texas persimmon seeds without stratification or scarification and they all sprouted

[@shamrockgirl804]

@@Sam-ko1lo Now that it’s the active season, I want to try that! I’ve also heard they’re easy to sprout. 😊
I thought they were similar to American Persimmons. The soaked seeds never sprouted.

Where do you get a Texas or American Persimmon plant from?

[@Sam-ko1lo]

What did you mean when you said you soaked the seeds for several months?

[@shamrockgirl804]

I soaked the seeds in room temperature water for several months. I did the same thing to American Persimmon seeds and they germinated after I planted them and began young seedlings.
However, the Texas Persimmons seeds didn't germinate. For the 2024 season, I plan on using different germination methods for these seeds.

@@shamrockgirl804 I planted 8 Texas persimmon seeds in pots without soaking and without stratification or scarification as an experiment to see if any would germinate. They all sprouted.

Look neat, but too much works for tiny little fruit.
