Lake Fork East Texas area hobby orchard and vineyard. We grow 24 different varieties of Muscadines, Paw Paws, Thornless Blackberries, Asian Persimmons, Jujubes, seedless Che, Mulberries, Asian Pears, Satsumas, Calamoundins, Kumquats and other Citruses.
If I'm not mistaken, you got at least some of your blackberry plants from Bob Wells nursery? I was just wondering where you get all your varieties from? Im starting a patch next spring and would like quality plants. Thanks.
I'm hoping to get a Scion of this variety. I have a seedling that is 8" tall but I'm impatient. I have a honey jar that may have a few fruit next year I planned on grafting to.
I'm glad you showed the size of the Ponkas. Larger than I thought. I'm planting ponka and natches this spring. I also have tripple crown but have to wait till spring for my first fruit. Thanks for the video. Maybe I will make one when mine all set fruit.
@TreehouseVineyard That's for sure. Just placed my order and changed the varieties. Went with Prime Ark Freedome and Kiowa a thorned variety . Although I must say those ponka sure look nice also.
How cool. I got a few pawpaw from Bob Wells also. I also ordered 9 more varieties of pawpaws from Hidden Springs Nursery that will be shipped end of this year. Like you, I haven't had a taste of pawpaw, but I have eaten Cherrimoya, Soursop - pawpaw cutup inside look like cherrimoya and soursops and I also detect the strong scent of pawpaw leaves that have similar scents to cherrimoya's and Soutsop leaves & bark.
I try to do my research on any new projects. I planted 5 PAF and 5 Ponca bare roots in the spring (zone 6a). They really took off when it warmed up. I left the primocanes get a little higher before tipping so I could try to propagate them. Haven’t tried to propagate any Ponca yet but I will try soon. I was wondering if you tried propagating any varieties from cuttings? The plants and even bare roots are VERY expensive and it doesn’t cost anything to try propagating from cuttings and they need tipping anyway. Thanks for the good info.
I have a dozen prime-ark 45 thorned, they produce good, but i am fixing to dig them up, I'm tired of those thorns. I had ordered these plants as thornless. I didn't know there was a thorned version. My berries didn't do well this year due to the late frost which hit them when they where bloomed out. Same thing happened to my wild plums. Our weather in Louisiana has been so extreme over the past years, either drought or late freezes. My fig trees last spring got hit by a freak freeze/14 degrees. Killed all of them back to the roots. Some of them came back this year with all new growth loaded with figs but he wont ripen ..
It’s a bummer with spring crop whenever there’s late freeze. I shifted most of my fruit trees to Asian persimmons and jujube to avoid any late freeze damages. I will not replant any stone fruits. I’ll add more mulberries though.
@@curtwsp Actually Che and Paw Paws are the only plants we have planted on the property that are still too young to bear fruit. I have not seen any of them also in local farmers market so I haven’t tried them yet but based on videos I’ve seen they should be delicious!
Those are definitely hachiya, I have a fully load tree. I bought a saijo that was mislabeled as saruga. I also have a fuyu, giombo and a jiro. you are correct that is a saijo. Mulch the persimmon trees they love it.
@@TreehouseVineyard Thanks for your reply but this variety is not available in India and local nurseries it is new to whole India that's why we wanted it.
What zone are you in? I'm 9a and have Anna, Golden Dorset, Ein Shemer, Fuji. I spray monthly with fish emulsion, seaweed, and hand soap. I do it when the sun is going down.
It's awesome that you have several types of persimmon trees, but kind of sucks that you're not exactly sure what type some of them are. I'm still jealous! Thanks for sharing and enjoy them!
