I planted Jiro persimmon in 2021. I cut back the main stem to only 18 inches because I want my tree to be short. It’s slow growing. But the tree has thick stems, really healthy looking. This spring it flowered. However, I removed all of the flowers as I want my tree to get a little bigger so it can hold the fruit without breaking the branches. Thanks for your informative video!
I have Hachiya: heavy bearer (40 + )four years straight, not dropped fruits until last year a few and a few this year. Saijo: second year bearing, dropped all but two fruits last year kept nine fruits this year. Fuyu: just planted last fall, has one fruit, and Giombo: also planted last fall, trig just grew first leaves and branches, growing nicely though. The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, second best time is now.
Be careful watering persimmon every day, you might kill them like I did me giant fuyu. Soak them three times a week, then two times, just observe them closely. It also depends if your soil drains well.
We have a couple 10+ years old persimmon tree. They make a lot of fruits. We've to give them away in big boxes. I used to live in a corner of the street and people that walk/drive by just stop to take pictures. They keep asking what kind of fruit is this? 😄.
I have a matsumoto persimmon I got this year as a 7 gallon it had 9 flowers only dropped 3 flowers my 6 fruit are just past golf ball size my tree is the size of your tree at 19:20 first year tree as well tree.
Thanks for the video ! Ah how I'd like to plant 14 of them. But with a 200 square meter garden that's not going to happen. So I have just the one. Perhaps I could squeeze in one or two more.
@@UncleClaysOrchard I got a fuyu as it's the one I used to eat from the store. I wonder how the astringeant taste though. You say they have more taste so I wonder if it's not worth trying them. But I would sooner go for another non astringeant variety. I need to check what's available.
@pierreboyer9277 can’t go wrong with the fuyu once the tree is of age you will be able to pick fruit from it for over a month maybe even longer! But yes the flavor is more mild then the astringent there are some good videos on youtube taste testing different astringent types you should watch before you make the plunge
Very cool video. I wonder if the Chocolate variety is the same as the 'Cioccolatino' variety found in Europe, it is supposed to be a good pollinator to other varieties, such as 'Vaniglia'. Planted 2 Vaniglia and a Cioccolatino in a row last autumn, they are putting on a ton of growth, even from just a small whip, just like you said.
I paid $100 for a 3/4 caliper giant Fuyu this year. Its around 5ft tall, and not that much growth on it. It did send out about 8 inches of new growth on just one of the branches. How old would you estimate it to be? It was sold as a fruiting size tree.
Next video Tell us about your watering, fertilizing, and pest/disease schedule regime :) as well as your pruning methods. Have you ever let the trunk of a grated persimmon grow a branch right before the graft on a persimmon. What happens if you let it keep growing from before the graft? will two varieties of persimmons be on the same tree? My grafted is the fuyu Asian and the bottom part is an American variety.
I have an entire video just about fertilizing. I have entire video on spraying but it’s more geared towards safety. And i have talked about pruning a lot but im sure ill cover these topics more! Thanks for watching! Yes there will be two varsities it depends if you root stock is Diospyros Lotus which the fruit won’t really be edible or Diospyros Virginiana which will be edible. But you still run the risk of the root stock being Male and then no fruit at all.
Well the best bang for your buck meaning bigger quality trees you will find at your local nursery but they usually will only have fuyu and jiro. So you will need to go online, I personally like fastgrowingtrees.com but I have ordered from all sorts of websites to get 12 varieties

you are doing the right thing playing the long game, your investment now will pay off later!

please keep me posted, i’m so happy to see lots of people with different persimmons trees. I’m excited to try Giombo
Nice video, I just planted 10 small trees, and I'm watering every day I hope that's OK, in 7a NJ. Keep up with the persimmon episodes, great job!
thank you for the support

@nello8630 very good point
@@UncleClaysOrchard I'm going to back off of the everyday watering, 3 times a week for now. Thanks
@10putty yea that makes sense, even a deep soak twice a week should be fine
We have a couple 10+ years old persimmon tree. They make a lot of fruits. We've to give them away in big boxes.
I used to live in a corner of the street and people that walk/drive by just stop to take pictures. They keep asking what kind of fruit is this? 😄.
that’s so cool, im really looking forward to when i have boxes to give away to people
Also love my persimmon trees
Do you have any?
@@UncleClaysOrchard about 6 trees on
My farm young trees still
I have a matsumoto persimmon I got this year as a 7 gallon it had 9 flowers only dropped 3 flowers my 6 fruit are just past golf ball size my tree is the size of your tree at 19:20 first year tree as well tree.
that’s exciting! good luck don’t be suprisse if it drops them all even though fruit trees act very different in a pot then in the ground
Thanks for the video !
Ah how I'd like to plant 14 of them. But with a 200 square meter garden that's not going to happen. So I have just the one. Perhaps I could squeeze in one or two more.
which one did you chose?
@@UncleClaysOrchard I got a fuyu as it's the one I used to eat from the store. I wonder how the astringeant taste though. You say they have more taste so I wonder if it's not worth trying them.
But I would sooner go for another non astringeant variety. I need to check what's available.
@@UncleClaysOrchard Any other non-astringeant variety to advise aside from Fuyu?
@pierreboyer9277 can’t go wrong with the fuyu once the tree is of age you will be able to pick fruit from it for over a month maybe even longer!

that’s exciting! Yea i’m not sure my guess would be yes probably the same. Keep me posted on how their doing!

The American persimmon will outgrow the Asian. I suggest you remove the American branvh.
@tj21bem yea im aware i have them on either side in preparation, i also think i can keep it 15ft tall 15ft wide
@tj21bem the american can and should have more flavor then the asian
Are squirrels and birds an issue when they fruit? I'm in Texas zone 8
yes big issue; i try to get rid of the squirrels and birds you need lots of bird reflective tape on the big trees; or bird net the small ones
Where did you buy them?

Uncle Clays Orchard rulez!
thanks for watching! which Sutton is this? Serena,
Persimmons mature even off the tree so you can actually pick them earlier
good point i forgot to mention!
