It's just great to grow such huge fruits. The ns sometimes have frosts of up to -10 Fahrenheit, although the past winter was mild and below -6 Fahrenheit was not. Good luck and 73!
Eugene Brando California has a lot n cheap in Asian market I bet u will find good one n I heard the prevent cancer. If u want to buy tree try the nursery the Asian one always has
Form BC, Fraser Valley. I would pick them frozen from the tree and they were still as sweet as ice cream. Thank you for all the good info, neighbour! God bless your family!
"no bugs bother it" in my case I have at least found that June bugs will eat about half a leaf at a time. I'm here because I'm looking at scaffolding/trellis ideas, so I'm glad to see yours. Mine is quite young. It's just on a bamboo rod at the moment.
We have a farm in Marshfield Missouri. My tree is just 2 and already producing. We have very mature, wild, North American Persimmons on our farm and something we have noticed is the one year on, one year off; so it does not surprise me the oriental varieties do the same. Thanks for sharing!
Just got a Fuyu and Jiro Persimmon plants for zone 8 or some say zone 9 our yard in North Florida. I'm so excited to see how well your edibles are doing. We will do all organic mulch, worm castings, composting and hope for great harvest. We have kumquats & limequat (keylime) doing super and been harvesting.
i am so envious of your tree. i have two - one in a pot and in the ground. both are bought from the nursery as a metre long stick and no branches. now there are lots of branches and leaves. i know it'll take at least 2 to 3 years for first fruits. can't wait! thanks for sharing
The Quarter Acre Homestead Hi there i live in New Zealand and they grow well here. a guy not too far from me has a 20 year old fuyu and is prolific producer every year. i have fuyu persimmons too.
My uncle had an American type of persimmon and my mother would eat the fruit when it was soft. She tried to get me to taste it, but I thought it was nasty looking and would not try it. The first time I tried Fuyu persimmons, I did not know what I was eating. I fell in love with the taste and the texture was firm and slightly crunchy. Now I am looking for a tree to add to my garden.
The best moments are when a mess becomes fun. Love these moments even when it is a big mess. One day, way to soon, you can have a clean house, it might be just before you are too old to clean house, but the things you will still be laughing about & remembering the most, will be the big messes that made those you love the MOST HAPPY. We don't remember any awards for keeping the cleanest house on the block, or get a thank you, when picking up the dirty socks or how many times we did the dishes better than any other human on earth & the laundry was all caught up on the same day. You can sit in a room all alone with your memories, & the best memories will be the laughter & the messes we made as we explored & discovered something new or used our imaginations. It’s ok to be clean, but it can take all the fun out of life if we don't keep track of our time & energy & use it on the things that bring joy for a lifetime. LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT WE DID WRONG, it’s all about what we did right & if we turn the wrong things into a lesson full of love & understanding, even our wrongs will turn into something right & it will last MANY GENERATIONS. If we take a child’s wrongs & put our wrong actions on top of that, it only teaches humans to be ugly, hateful, & abusive & THAT WILL LAST MANY GENERATIONS. We can correct & DISCIPLINE IN LOVE. We can discipline with love, but we need to tell the child; 1. I didn’t want to discipline you. I love you so much, 2. I’m disappointed that you made the wrong choice, but 3. I did tell you, if you don’t stop I will have to punish you. 4. Make sure they do understand that you hope they never forget you love them, & 5. maybe next time they will lean to make a better choice, because this will hurt you, far more then it will hurt them. 6. these things help young minds to know love & that a punishment is not out of hate, because HATE will destroy humans or any forms of life. Love can heal anything, if we use our love & not our hate. Anger creates hate & hate creates anger. Discipline is better done without spanking, but if you feel you have to use spanking, keep anger far away from it. Children want to make us happy, Anger never helps anyone.
WOW!!! What did you feed them? I just recently put mine in the ground and I've used coop poop. I can't wait to see my tree produce fruits. I love persimmons.
Bought my first persimmon tree won’t deliver until August from a reputable nursery. Saw your page quarter of an acre homestead. We own a quarter of an acre and new gardener looking into homestead living. New subscriber to learn from your channel...lol.
We actually love them firm and crunchy. To me, they taste better while crunchy. The astringent varieties, you have no choice but to wait till they are ripen and mushy.
I think it is great that you didn't 'thin' out the fruit, Ive seen people do that and I don't get it, your tree may need to be supported but look at all those friggin Fuyu Persimmons! And isn't that what it is all about?? Those are my favorite too!
That is because it's overbearing. In order to avoid this you have to remove some fruit this will help the life of the tree until it is way older in which it can produce hundreds. This happens to blueberries as well. Heavy croppers cause alternate years of bearing a lot then a little or sometimes none at all skipping a season.
Impresses with the number of fruits. Squirrels found my trees when the fruits were still green. Found most of the fruit on the ground with one bite taken out of everyone of them! Grrrrr
I had squirrels also, damaged everything on my trees. I use the Squirrelinator trap now. If you buy one make sure to buy the one that has the "water tight travel pan"(PC labeling for Dunk Tank) included. You should see the trap and the travel pan both in the picture, if the tank is not in the picture it is NOT in the box. Model #90000. Available from www.ruggedranch.net & www.squirrelinator.com . Rodents will ruin everything! They also make the Ratinator, which I use in the barn.
Wow! That’s a lot of fruits in a small tree. You said your tree been in the ground 4 years and it’s the second year that have fruits? It’s this a dwarf tree? I just got dwarf ichi-ki-kei-jiro in the mail it’s a size of stick. I don’t know when it will fruit. First I have to put it in the ground. I hope mine look like yours someday. Thanks for the video.
Actually if you pick them when they turn but are still hard you freeze them and when they thaw back out you need to eat them that day but they are almost jello like and very sweet. I don't know that much about all persimmons but did this with Tanenashi and they were excellent! once they thawed I would just bite a hole in the skin and suck out the pulp like a jello shot! lol
The Quarter Acre Homestead yes I bought one last year it’s doing good so far I live in Orlando Florida ,so I try to put compost and some grass clipping Since the dirt is all sand here in Florida Will see what happens peace
Thank you so much for information . I am in Seattle area. Just bought 2 Early Fuyu. 2 Nikita's gift persimmon . And last year I planted Izu, and Saijo persimmons. Hopefully they will perform well in the areas. I also like to try Giombo and Sheng persimmons. Thank again . Vincent
I really need help to figure out what is going on with my tree. My fuyu tree is 5 years old. It is a big tree. So far, I haven't had any fruits on them. Last year I thought I have seen small flowers on them but then few weeks later they were all gone. This year I see small flowers on them too. I hope they will stay and turn into fruits. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure! I think it is possible to have a male tree. In that case, it will have flowers but now fruit. Have the flowers this year turned into fruit yet?
I bought my parents this tree and after 1 year they got about 20 fruit and were amazing, but second year nothing! Hopefully the third year will be a good crop. The tree does seem to grow quite slowly compared to say a fig tree.
Do you have male Persimmon tree? I have a new Fuyu Persimmon seedling and I heard I need a male or another Persimmon to cross pollinate? I have the Wild American Persimmon trees, already growing, but also heard that they won't help with a Fuyu. So many different people, saying different things. Help!?
I actually don't fertilize at all. However, before we planted this tree we had a big compost pile at this spot for about a year. And now, we have a chicken run which allows chickens to run around under this tree to fertilize it.
Hello Mathew, I love your persimmons!!! Nice size of fruits! I have one persimmon tree at home but the fruits are so tiny like a grape. I thought it was young tree but after 9 years old tree, the fruits are still stay small. May I ask if you prune your persimmon tree? If yes. Would you mind to send me some branches when you prune it? I will pay for the shipping cost. Thank you kindly. Nina
Hi Nina, yes I do prune my persimmon tree. I would be happy to send some cuttings. Visit my Patreon page and there is an option for cuttings - you can unsubscribe after one month if you like. www.patreon.com/thequarteracrehomestead?fan_landing=true
Hi. I'm western WA state and fell in love with persimmons after receiving some from a person in California. How do you think that tree would grow in a container? I know that I was told that I wouldn't be able to grow grape vines in a pot, but have successfully grown enough concord grapes for a pie for that past 2 years on vines that are containered. I just wanted to get your opinion.
I'm not sure. From what I read online, growing one in a big container is possible: forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1510962/how-long-can-my-fuyu-persimmon-stay-in-a-pot . homeguides.sfgate.com/grow-persimmon-smart-pot-93412.html
Persimmons have a deep tap root and I havnt had any luck growing them in a container. They do good for awhile then die. When I pull them out they have a J root and get root bound. I assume that is what kills them.
You may need to graft a scion onto your seedlings. If you know someone with a good tasting persimmon get some cuttings from them. Get the cuttings in the middle of winter (November) when their tree is dormant (when the tree is sleeping and all the leaves have fallen off). Scions the thickness of a pencil are good. Wrap them in a barely moist, squeezed-out-as-much-water-out-as-you-can, paper towel or sphagnum moss. Seal them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Store them in the refrigerator (Not the freezer!) Crisper drawer. Leave them there a few months. In the spring when your tree has woke up and has a few leaves open and growing is the time to graft the scions onto your trees. This is a different timing than for grafting peaches, plums, apples, etc... So do not graft any earlier, you must wait for the persimmon to be making leaves. The sap has to be flowing. Otherwise the cuts between the scion and the rootstock will dry out and not grow together. Persimmon wood is very hard. Too hard to safely split with a razor knife. So when you split the branch to insert the scion I recommend using your pruning clipper to split the twig. Watch some grafting videos, buy some grafting tape (Buddy Tape is the best, but expensive), and good luck!
Hi, Are you still in the Vancouver area? How is your tree doing? If you prune your tree this year, would you be willing to share some cuttings? Im in Hazel Dell. Thanks
What State you are in? In city, Maryland I have three trees in my yard but and cannot leave fruits on trees until all the leaves fall off nor late November, animals will eat them all up! Any trick please thanks for your show
M Boychi for some reason the birds don’t bother the persimmons. We do get a few earwigs in them, but again, bugs really aren’t a problem for our persimmons.
I actually just planted a fuyu small tree in my parents yard. I guess that’s how they’ll look once the tree grows etc. thanks for sharing. Btw, how much sunlight does that tree get?
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead my tree about 2y grows so many fruits right now, what kind of fertilizer do you use? and how much watering do you provide them regularly?
@@jkbc I don't fertilize at all and I don't water either. I don't think they really require fertizing. For your young tree, you may want to water once a week or so if you aren't getting rain.
Good day. Can I ask you a couple of questions? If I am not mistaken, this is East Persimmon? What kind of variety? What are the minimum temperatures you have, cover persimmon for winter or not? What is the weight of the fruit?
This is called a Sweet Fuyu persimmon. The lowest temperatures we have are usually in the 20s Fahrenheit. We do not cover it in the winter. The weight of the fruit is probably about 1/2 lb each. They are pretty big! We bought ours here: onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
Had never seen or heard of this fruit, but after watching some videos I try it and the fruit is sweet. Does the fruit has seeds? The one I ate didn't, or at least I didn't see them. Can you tell me where I can get a tree. Thank you
As long as there is not another variety of persimmon nearby to cross-pollinate with, there will be no seeds. If there is cross-pollination, then there will be seeds. You can mail-order one from One Green World: onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
Yes some do have seeds some don't. I'm in California and I have 2 mature 17th and 20th years old ... Both are loaded with fruits. Last year my 6th years old grand daughter sells it during the holidays @ $1:30lbs .AT winco $1:99 lbs.... Boy I'll tell you it didn't last long lol. 2 weeks every thing gone.. $600 Christmas money for her... not count the fruits we ate and handed out to family and neighbors.
Hey Matthew, I am interested in growing this variety myself, could you grow this variety out from seed, or would you graft it to a local variety of persimmon? I would buy seeds and or a grafting branch from you lol
Helloni am so glad i found you, i bougth 1 bareroot 4.5 feet tall dormant, i am in kansas zone 6 i planted it it had a few tiny buds is been 3 weeks and the buds are growing veryyy slow is this normal or do i need to fertilize? also we had rain for almost 2 weeks what should i do? my yard is flood it and the water level is a few inches away from the persimon! about 6" so i know is floaded will this kill my tree to much water? this happems dumring a storm time only please any advide is wellcome thanks.
Maria, good afternoon. My name is Yuri I live in the North of Donbass, it is 50 degrees north latitude. I also grow persimmon, I have 90 chromosomal persimmon seedlings from Indiana, the bark doesn’t crack, unlike the virginia from 60% chromosome. This year, for the first time, I had three trees blooming on which there were female fruit flowers. And on the same tree were only male flowers, which immediately after flowering, all sprinkled. Fruit flowers tied fruit- (before flowering, I watered all the trees), but after flowering, stopped all watering. I do not know whether it is so or not, but there is an opinion that when the fruit is still a small watering it is necessary to stop, otherwise the tree can shave off the fruit. I do not water the trees now. When the fruits grow up around August, if there is no good rain, watering will resume. Also this spring I made several inoculations of Eastern, more large-fruited persimmon. Several fruits remained and grow. If the tree does not fold them, I want to see what kind of fruit, the owner of those cuttings said that the fruits are almost square and carry up to -28C in winter. Here is my video, really in Russian. There you will see three cuttings that I have planted. One in the root neck of the seedling and two cuttings in the crown. ua-cam.com/video/hd0sk1EcqME/v-deo.html
@@ur5myyuri305 that is alot of Persimons! i have 1 Fuyu and is about 5" tall or 160 cm is in full don looking good now, i had to remove it from the fload area and put it in a pot for 2 months now is stronger is back in the ground thankd
Hi, yes, we picked about 140 of the fruit before that freeze. Only the ones that were starting to turn orange, just to be safe. They are ripening inside. We still had even more on the tree, so we covered it in plastic the best we could, ran an extension cord and a lamp out to it. It seems to be ok. So sorry your fruit didn't make it! Let us know.
We were at the coast that whole week. Our fruit looks kind of green tomato-ish, slightly soft and translucent. This was a big crop this year and we were getting excited about it. Darn...
I bought a Fuyu persimmon. Mine is just a stick in a pot also. Do I need to prune the top of the main trunk for it to start producing side limbs? Thanks
From what I read, they don't need much cold. They might need about 100-200 hours of temps below 45 degrees. We are using local honey, but we don't have our own hive.
I love persimmons!! I have a tree but they very very small like grape size..... is this normal and does anyone else have a tree of mini persimmon??? I thought it would be a regular size fruit but we didn’t know it will be very tiny...
They are self pollinating! If you only have one, you'll have seedless persimmons. If they cross pollinate, they will have seeds - at least that's what I've heard. So far ours are seedless.
I had coyotes jumping up and biting the fruit and breaking the branches. I was worried the coyotes would break the whole tree from jumping up into it. So I cut off all of the branches below 6'. I wish I could let the lower branches grow but due to the coyotes this was not possible. Now I have to use a ladder to pick the fruit.
where-about in s/w Washington do you live? I am located in the Vancouver area and just got my 1st Fuyu. It is about 7 ft tall.When will I see bloom this year?
We're in the the greater Vancouver area. Do you have new shoots of green leaves growing? If you look closely next to each leaf, you should see some tiny, tiny blooms just forming. I'm seeing them on my tree now.
Our leaves have a yellow cast as well. It happened last year, too, and I think it is normal. Persimmons usually have a heavy-bearing year, and then a light-bearing year, so I'm thinking we won't get many persimmons this year. Most (maybe all?) of my blossoms are dying and falling off this year so far.
Wow, some more local people! That's cool to know that the Fuyu can do well in this area. I'll give you both one chance to guess where I'm from. :) Is there anything special about the particular fuyu that you purchased? The website says it will only grow to about 12 feet, whereas most of the resources I've seen online say they can grow up to 25!
This tree is actually the "Sweet Fuyu" from One Green World in Portland, OR. onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
It's just great to grow such huge fruits. The ns sometimes have frosts of up to -10 Fahrenheit, although the past winter was mild and below -6 Fahrenheit was not. Good luck and 73!

What type of persimmon, and where are you located? In my experience persimmons often produce fruit sooner rather than later!
The Quarter Acre Homestead
Hi there
i live in New Zealand and they grow well here. a guy not too far from me has a 20 year old fuyu and is prolific producer every year.
i have fuyu persimmons too.
How big does the pot need to be to plant a fuyu persimmon tree in it? And also, how tall does the tree get when it’s fully mature? :o
Fuyu persimmon trees are available on Amazon, but you'll probably find better prices at your local nursery. amzn.to/2yvtjk0
The persimmon is a marvelous fruit!
Yes!
That's a nice looking tree. I just planted 10 American Persimmon trees 2 years ago now. Prok, Yates, Meader, and Morse grafted females.
My uncle had an American type of persimmon and my mother would eat the fruit when it was soft. She tried to get me to taste it, but I thought it was nasty looking and would not try it.

My Fuyu persimmon tree is loaded this year, how to thin them? Can I cut off some top branches now or wait until early spring next year?
I have fuyu but no fruits yet and the guy at nursery told me that these taste sweet even when they are not ripe. Is it true?
I think they need to be mostly ripe. At least orange color. But it is ok if they are crunch.
Hey! thank you for this video.😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing, I have five years old persimmon trees, grow up from seeds, why still has no fluids? What should I do?
You may need to graft a scion onto your seedlings. If you know someone with a good tasting persimmon get some cuttings from them.
Get the cuttings in the middle of winter (November) when their tree is dormant (when the tree is sleeping and all the leaves have fallen off). Scions the thickness of a pencil are good. Wrap them in a barely moist, squeezed-out-as-much-water-out-as-you-can, paper towel or sphagnum moss. Seal them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Store them in the refrigerator (Not the freezer!) Crisper drawer. Leave them there a few months.
In the spring when your tree has woke up and has a few leaves open and growing is the time to graft the scions onto your trees. This is a different timing than for grafting peaches, plums, apples, etc... So do not graft any earlier, you must wait for the persimmon to be making leaves. The sap has to be flowing. Otherwise the cuts between the scion and the rootstock will dry out and not grow together.
Persimmon wood is very hard. Too hard to safely split with a razor knife. So when you split the branch to insert the scion I recommend using your pruning clipper to split the twig. Watch some grafting videos, buy some grafting tape (Buddy Tape is the best, but expensive), and good luck!
How's the persimmon tree doing?
It's doing good! We have a second, Saijo, now as well.
nice. How long did it take to fruit after you planted it?
We got our first persimmon the first year it was planted!
Hi, Are you still in the Vancouver area? How is your tree doing? If you prune your tree this year, would you be willing to share some cuttings? Im in Hazel Dell. Thanks
Hi, yes still in Vancouver area. Happy to send some cuttings. Just send $15 by paypal to design@farnellweb.com and let me know your address. :-)
What State you are in? In city, Maryland I have three trees in my yard but and cannot leave fruits on trees until all the leaves fall off nor late November, animals will eat them all up! Any trick please thanks for your show
Wa state. Hmm, I don’t know, maybe put wire around the base of the tree?
What do you do to keep bugs and birds off the fruit till November?
Its april in Houston now and our fruits are getting hammered by birds and bugs
M Boychi for some reason the birds don’t bother the persimmons. We do get a few earwigs in them, but again, bugs really aren’t a problem for our persimmons.
I actually just planted a fuyu small tree in my parents yard. I guess that’s how they’ll look once the tree grows etc. thanks for sharing. Btw, how much sunlight does that tree get?
Full sun, all day.
How old are those trees? I just planted mine 3 weeks ago, hoping to see the first fruit after 2 years hopefully
This tree is about 8 or 9 years old.
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead my tree about 2y grows so many fruits right now, what kind of fertilizer do you use? and how much watering do you provide them regularly?
@@jkbc I don't fertilize at all and I don't water either. I don't think they really require fertizing. For your young tree, you may want to water once a week or so if you aren't getting rain.
Good day. Can I ask you a couple of questions? If I am not mistaken, this is East Persimmon? What kind of variety? What are the minimum temperatures you have, cover persimmon for winter or not? What is the weight of the fruit?
This is called a Sweet Fuyu persimmon. The lowest temperatures we have are usually in the 20s Fahrenheit. We do not cover it in the winter. The weight of the fruit is probably about 1/2 lb each. They are pretty big! We bought ours here: onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
Which county in Washington is this and how are your chocolate persimmon doing?
Cowlitz. My son broke my chocolate persimmon tree off, so I don't have one right now. I did graft a couple, but they haven't started producing yet.
You could strengthen the branches by pruning the tree: allow no more than three main limbs.
Will loose fruits
It's Amazing 🙂
You have a nice accent too where are you from? 🤔
Had never seen or heard of this fruit, but after watching some videos I try it and the fruit is sweet. Does the fruit has seeds? The one I ate didn't, or at least I didn't see them. Can you tell me where I can get a tree. Thank you
As long as there is not another variety of persimmon nearby to cross-pollinate with, there will be no seeds. If there is cross-pollination, then there will be seeds. You can mail-order one from One Green World: onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
Yes some do have seeds some don't. I'm in California and I have 2 mature 17th and 20th years old ... Both are loaded with fruits. Last year my 6th years old grand daughter sells it during the holidays @ $1:30lbs .AT winco $1:99 lbs.... Boy I'll tell you it didn't last long lol. 2 weeks every thing gone.. $600 Christmas money for her... not count the fruits we ate and handed out to family and neighbors.
Thanx for video
Hey Matthew, I am interested in growing this variety myself, could you grow this variety out from seed, or would you graft it to a local variety of persimmon? I would buy seeds and or a grafting branch from you lol
Don't have a pollinator, so I don't get seeds. When I prune, I could send you some branches. Send me a message!
Dustin, I know you messaged me, but I can't find it. Can you message me again?
Do you propagate and sell tree starters?
Do you have a problem with the trees giving a bad odor? I've read other posts that described some kind of bad smelling odor.
Helloni am so glad i found you, i bougth 1 bareroot 4.5 feet tall dormant, i am in kansas zone 6 i planted it it had a few tiny buds is been 3 weeks and the buds are growing veryyy slow is this normal or do i need to fertilize? also we had rain for almost 2 weeks what should i do? my yard is flood it and the water level is a few inches away from the persimon! about 6" so i know is floaded will this kill my tree to much water? this happems dumring a storm time only please any advide is wellcome thanks.
Maria, good afternoon. My name is Yuri I live in the North of Donbass, it is 50 degrees north latitude. I also grow persimmon, I have 90 chromosomal persimmon seedlings from Indiana, the bark doesn’t crack, unlike the virginia from 60% chromosome. This year, for the first time, I had three trees blooming on which there were female fruit flowers. And on the same tree were only male flowers, which immediately after flowering, all sprinkled. Fruit flowers tied fruit- (before flowering, I watered all the trees), but after flowering, stopped all watering. I do not know whether it is so or not, but there is an opinion that when the fruit is still a small watering it is necessary to stop, otherwise the tree can shave off the fruit. I do not water the trees now. When the fruits grow up around August, if there is no good rain, watering will resume. Also this spring I made several inoculations of Eastern, more large-fruited persimmon. Several fruits remained and grow. If the tree does not fold them, I want to see what kind of fruit, the owner of those cuttings said that the fruits are almost square and carry up to -28C in winter. Here is my video, really in Russian. There you will see three cuttings that I have planted. One in the root neck of the seedling and two cuttings in the crown. ua-cam.com/video/hd0sk1EcqME/v-deo.html
@@ur5myyuri305 that is alot of Persimons! i have 1 Fuyu and is about 5" tall or 160 cm is in full don looking good now, i had to remove it from the fload area and put it in a pot for 2 months now is stronger is back in the ground thankd
Where did you buy your tree
Duah Lovesme This tree is actually the "Sweet Fuyu" from One Green World in Portland, OR. onegreenworld.com/product/sweet-fuyu-2/
How are your Fuyu's doing this year? I live near you and I think the Hard freeze 2 weeks ago has damaged the fruit.
Hi, yes, we picked about 140 of the fruit before that freeze. Only the ones that were starting to turn orange, just to be safe. They are ripening inside. We still had even more on the tree, so we covered it in plastic the best we could, ran an extension cord and a lamp out to it. It seems to be ok. So sorry your fruit didn't make it! Let us know.
We were at the coast that whole week. Our fruit looks kind of green tomato-ish, slightly soft and translucent. This was a big crop this year and we were getting excited about it. Darn...
New subbie fellow Washingtonian
Jiro is pronounced jee-ro. Beautiful fruit! I hope you're getting an even bigger harvest this year. Thank you for sharing this with us. :)
Thanks~
I'm jealous!
I bought a Fuyu persimmon. Mine is just a stick in a pot also. Do I need to prune the top of the main trunk for it to start producing side limbs? Thanks
I didn't prune the top of mine, and it produced side shoots. Enjoy!
Do you do any summer pruning?
No, I don't. But I saw one person who would prune branches while he picked so that he could reach the fruit. So I think it would be fine.
wow, that's a lot of fruits! how old is your tree? can't wait for mine to look like yours.
Only about four or five years!
I am from India how I may have your persimmon plant or seed the way please
How many chill hours are needed on this tree ? Are you using local honey for your son, and do you own a hive ?
From what I read, they don't need much cold. They might need about 100-200 hours of temps below 45 degrees. We are using local honey, but we don't have our own hive.
Thank you. I wish you and your family good health.
What growing zone are you in? What are your winter temps like?
About zone 9. Winter temps get down into the 20s, rarely down into the teens. Farenheit.
I love persimmons!! I have a tree but they very very small like grape size..... is this normal and does anyone else have a tree of mini persimmon??? I thought it would be a regular size fruit but we didn’t know it will be very tiny...
I've never seen persimmons that small. What variety?
The Quarter Acre Homestead where my husband got it from said it was regular size persimmon tree! We dont know what kind it is tho......
Do you need two fuyu persimmons for cross pollination or are they self pollinating
They are self pollinating! If you only have one, you'll have seedless persimmons. If they cross pollinate, they will have seeds - at least that's what I've heard. So far ours are seedless.
Do u cut back your tree for winter once all fruit has been harvested?
I do prune it, but not until January or February.
I had coyotes jumping up and biting the fruit and breaking the branches. I was worried the coyotes would break the whole tree from jumping up into it. So I cut off all of the branches below 6'. I wish I could let the lower branches grow but due to the coyotes this was not possible. Now I have to use a ladder to pick the fruit.
where-about in s/w Washington do you live? I am located in the Vancouver area and just got my 1st Fuyu. It is about 7 ft tall.When will I see bloom this year?
We're in the the greater Vancouver area. Do you have new shoots of green leaves growing? If you look closely next to each leaf, you should see some tiny, tiny blooms just forming. I'm seeing them on my tree now.
Yes, I live between Orchards and Brush Prairie. The new leaves have a yellow cast to them. I'll have to go out and look closely for tiny bloom buds.
Our leaves have a yellow cast as well. It happened last year, too, and I think it is normal. Persimmons usually have a heavy-bearing year, and then a light-bearing year, so I'm thinking we won't get many persimmons this year. Most (maybe all?) of my blossoms are dying and falling off this year so far.
Wow, some more local people! That's cool to know that the Fuyu can do well in this area. I'll give you both one chance to guess where I'm from. :)
Is there anything special about the particular fuyu that you purchased? The website says it will only grow to about 12 feet, whereas most of the resources I've seen online say they can grow up to 25!
when i open up, I am looking for fuyu persimmon tree for my backyard, can they ship to san diego?
Yes, I'm sure they can.
I bet its huge now
A bit bigger, but not huge :-)
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead Its been like 5 years though... ?
@@MountainJohn yes, but I prune it each year. I had an updated video around November 2019.
Please can you tell me where did you buy this tree
onegreenworld.com/product/early-fuyu-2/
Is it eatable when it's hard?
Yes, as long as it is orange!
Yes, as long as it is orange!
You have more harvest cause it was pollinated by that chocolate persimmon.
Its a self fertilizing persimmon
Self fertilizing will still have higher production when cross fertilized.
I have one in my backyard it produces less fruit every other year.
Can Fuyu grows in pot?
I'm not sure.
You need to prune it correctly , you'll have Big fruit a thé begining of the branches
how do you get the birds to not eat them?
I've never had an issue with birds trying to eat these! Not sure why. Do they try to eat yours?
They make fruit nets...pretty cheap on amazon.
Love to have some seeds
Why do you leave.please can buy from you a small cutting
Correction where
Washington - I already pruned this year, but if you message me next year around February, I can get you a cutting.
what growing zone are you?
9
It grows in Washington state?
Yes! It does great here in western Wa state.

it tasted like sweet Apple.
I doubt it will grow in Texas hard clay soil
I love to eat daily
These persimmons trees r very weak in pakistan persimmons trees r very healthy
What do you use for fertilizer?
I actually haven't fertilized this tree. However, about 5 years ago, I did have a big compost pile right where this tree is planted.
Thank you!

Looks a bit weak
