Get a bird bath. A lot of times birds will peck into fruit for the moisture. A bird bath will give them access to water. Put more than one around your garden.
Thank you for this update on your experience with this particular persimmon tree. It may be a perfect fit for my garden 😊 As always, your incredible content is very vastly appreciated
If you don't mind seeds and would like more fruit reliably you could probably graft a Chocolate Asian persimmon to one of the rootstock suckers. It'll produce a small amount of male or perfect flowers. It's basically a Fuyu if it doesn't get pollinated and flesh turns brown if it does.
Do you happen to know on what root stock the nikitas gift is crafted? The diospyros lotus creates a lot of suckering and air roots in my experience, this is the main reason i have all of my varities crafted on diospyros virginiana.
That’s what I needed to see a
Dwarf persimmon tree. I don’t mind if it gets wide. Thanks for sharing.
This persimmon is on my wishlist!

Nikita's Gift has a perfect balance of taste, something between D.virginiana and D.kaki (oriental) persimmons. My favorite👍
I will say about the rootstalk suckers ive noticed them on my 2 nikitas gift also!
