I may be wrong about this but I think persimmons have the greatest sugar content of any fruit. Interesting that they’re your favorite, fig boss.
New subscriber, love Persimmons 👍👋
Enjoyed the tour
Plant some extra for the squirrels. It’s a native mammal. Most state laws also state that you can only kill small (native) mammals on your property during the appropriate season (not with poison or snares) unless you have a permit to do so outside of the season.
thank you for sharing!
My tree got some fungal infection. All new leaves got black spots and curls.Used toget about 150 to 200 fruits.But this year not even one fruit on the tree. What should I do?It is a big tree about 12 yearold.I appreciate your advice
Awesome stuff, Ross. I have Prok, Yates, and Nikita’s Gift in the ground currently… patiently waiting for some fruit.
i have asian persimmon tree took 5/6 years for it to hold its fruit , delious fruit but the squierels love them to nice video Ross ,surprised you can get those verietys to get threw the winter.
Ross, Another example of your talent/ability to get some major results with less than optimum conditions....partial shade competition form trees, etc. but with good fruit set/harvest on a wide variety of species. Looking forward to seeing what you can accomplish with more property, full sun, reduced tree competition. The best for a gr8 growing future! Randy/GA
Im currently obsessed with american persimmons.. I've bought seeds from several suppliers with different genetics.. Hoping some are hardy enough to survive here at 64dgr north in Norway.. :) nice video as always!
I found a nice persimmon tree this week. It was on the edge of a parking lot where I was working. There was lots of fruit dropping and perfectly ripe. I have a Japanese Fuyo one but it didn't give me any fruit this year for some reason. It had a lot of buds and fruit but they all fell off. I haven't seen natives that big before!!
I had a battle with squirrels myself. I used a live trap and relocated them. I was up to nine last season, a bit less this year. I definitely understand how you feel.
Fruit fed squirrels….delicious.
About how much sun does your Prok get, and at what times of the day, please? I don't have space in full sun for a large tree. Thanks!
What’s you’re opinion on the chocolate persimmon
I love persimmons- astringent and non-astringent. Though, I like the non-astringent more because we don't need to wait for them to ripe to enjoy. I've grown 8 non-astringent varieties and 2 astringent varieties.
Have two of the same squirrel trap as you. One word of warning is that it instantly kills only about 80-90% of the time. So I would check it frequently, especially in the morning, and be prepared to have to take additional measures to finish the job. It really is my least favorite part of growing fruit but realistically you can't grow fruit to full ripeness in suburbia unless you also control the local squirrel overpopulation.
Our dogs love them 😋
Are you watering them and how much? My persimmons dropping all fruits.
This trap is one of the best investments we made this year. My tomato, blackberry & fig crops were finally enjoyed by us, rather than those furry rodents! 🐿
