    I normally prune my Fuyu tree every two years or as needed to build the tree structure. I do not harvest by cutting the tree's woody branches because I want to preserve the buds on them for the next spring. Thanks for the video.

    I have persimmon tree also. And you really have to support the branches when it’s fruiting because the branches are so small and the fruits are so heavy. I usually harvest my persimmons when all the leaves are almost dry because I found it more sweeter and juicier. That was a big harvest.

    • @Myhomegarden-unlimited
      @Myhomegarden-unlimited  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I do support the heavy branches 👍🏻
      My husband is so impatient with persimmons he wants me to harvest as soon as the colour changes lol
      I always wanted to harvest after the tree drops all its leaves but he is so persistent I eventually give up🤷‍♀️

    • @Myhomegarden-unlimited
      @Myhomegarden-unlimited  2 роки тому +2

      Deep T, thank you! If your persimmon tree is not irregularly shaped like mine, there is no need to prune it since persimmon tree bears fruit on the older wood. If you prune it now, the new growth will not grow fruit next year. I use Jobe’s organic fruit and citrus fertilizer spikes for all my fruit trees.

      We love persimmons and many people I know love persimmons. Persimmons are not ready for harvest yet. Planning to harvest during November month once all the fruit turns orange in color.
      There are two types of persimmons. This variety of persimmon in this video is fuyu persimmon which can be eaten like an apple. No need to dry it. There’s another type of astringent persimmon which should be ripe before eating. You can also remove the peels and dry the persimmons for long time storage.

    • @Myhomegarden-unlimited
      @Myhomegarden-unlimited  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so much. I planted mine as a bare root tree during November 2017 and wrapped the stem with burlap and tied it so the cold weather doesn’t harm the trunk. The tree produced exactly 2 persimmons the next season and eventually grew some branches. The following winter I didn’t do anything to protect the tree . Mine is zone 7b. If you’re in a zone colder, I would suggest you to wrap with burlap for two or three winters consequently until it establishes itself well enough. Burlap works great but hard to find nice thick ones. If you don’t find thick burlap, you can always use the basmati rice bags from Costco. The bags are made of nice thick burlap. Just cut the into wide strips and roll it around the trunk.

    Hi thank you for your video, fruit looks delicious, I have a question, 3 years ago I planted the tree, and the spring came, the tree is died, so I cut all the way down to the bottom, lucky a few months later, the baby comes up, very good very healthy, and now the tree is 3years old, and have fruit first time, but very small, and the fruit very ripe, but when I eat it, it very bitter, do you know why?

    • @Myhomegarden-unlimited
      @Myhomegarden-unlimited  2 роки тому +2

      Yes I know why your fruit is small and bitter. When you bought the tree, you got a grafted plant meaning, the bottom rooted portion is a different type that’s tolerant to your climate and the top portion is attached few inches above the rooted portion. You can very well see the attachment if you have other fruit trees in your garden. Just go out and check the tree trunk in the base of any fruit tree. So in your case , when the fruit tree died, you chopped it and whatever grew back is from the rootstock. Usually the plants used for rootstock doesn’t produce superior fruit but they use it because it can handle the temperatures very well. I hope you understand what I’m saying. Right now you can only remove the entire tree ( uproot it ) and plant another grafted tree in that place.

      Fall is when the tree gets ready to go dormant. That’s when the tree doesn’t focus on top growth. When you plant your fruit trees during fall, it can focus establishing good root system so that during the next spring , you will have a great top growth and flowers.

      Hi Tahera, most of the Asian persimmon varieties grow in zone 6 to 9
      But American native persimmons can grow very well in zone 5 because they are more cold hardy than Asian persimmons.
      But recently I read that Saijo persimmon tree grows well in zone 5 .If you plant it in a full sunny area in your garden, I think Saijo persimmon would work well in your zone.
