I’ve been watching for months how to prune trees and no body explains it like you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Lord willing I plan on planting trees in the raised bed and keep them small I’ll keep learning until then😂❤
When you were talking about the Hachiya Persimmon and if you want to pick it early, I was saying to myself.... say freeze it, freeze it and you nailed it. Not too many people know that little trick!
Tom I love your vids and have been watching them for a while now. I'm a transplant from California that now lives in the Pacific Northwest and would love to hear ANY recommendations that you can make for this kind of climate. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
For those trying to grow figs in extreme winter conditions with many days below freezing winter protection is key. Keeping the tree to a manageable size and creating an insulating area to protect the tree.
I always look forward to your vids, only they are too few and far between. I want to plant everything you show but here in Maine (zone 5/4)I am limited. I am especially interested in those pomegranates, actually everything you showed. What of what you showed is possible to grow in Maine? Thanks.
Nice, I would have liked some explanation in the first segment of exactly why rogue bloom is a fireblight hazard. What is the mechanism of this threat of disease spread? Improved audio quality! Tom, time to upgrade the camera, even my cellphone does high definition, 360p is frustrating, would love to see your beautiful fruits and what you are doing in greater detail with 720p, 1080i, or at least 480p! we are feasting right now on our Izu persimmons, Kelly even made a batch of sorbet - YUM!

Hi tom I have been trying to grow persimmon from last 4 yrs. Till now i have tried 4 bare rooted trees( jiro and fuyu varities) one every year. But all of them died. They were all planted on different locations. Issue is my first persimmon i planted showed only 2 inch of growth after it broke dormancy. This continued for 2 yrs and in 3rd year it died. And other 3 i planted last yr never broke dormancy till mid summer but were alive as bark was green underneath. But they also now dead as we heading for winter in sydney AUSTRALIA. I planted them in ful sun with 11 hrs or direct sunlight in summer. We do have temps for 40+ in summer. What i might be doing wrong. All stone fruits , citrus and apples are doing great..except persimmon (and cherry) I m very keen in growing this again. Any tips would be helpful Do u think i shall plant it in PART SHADE? PLEASE HELP Thanks sandy
My first guess would be over watering. If you're watering them more than once a week they will not thrive. You should be watering about every 10 to 14 days in the summer, letting the first few inches of topsoil dry between irrigations.
Lang is partly self-fruitful. You will get bigger crops with pollination. You might try mail order for a different variety. www.davewilson.com/home-gardens/where-to-buy/retail-nurseries-mail-order
All in one Fuyu is the most popular crunchy eating variety. Chocolate and Coffeecake are both excellent also, but best planted together for better pollination.
Tri Nguyen persimmons are very popular. www.davewilson.com/home-gardens/where-to-buy/retail-sources/Fuyu%20%28Jiro%29%20Persimmon/FUYJI/product-information/product/fuyu-jiro-persimmon/Yes//
There are lots of tricks, like reflective tape and such, none work very well. It gets better after the tree is older and produces more fruit. Don’t remove bird pecked fruit from your tree, or they’ll just peck another. Jays used to decimate my Pluot, then it got more productive and the fruit they ate didn’t matter much. Cherries and other early ripening varieties can be hardest hit by birds, more fruit seems the only answer.
the best apples are Ranet Semerenko, these are apples that you will not know the taste of real apples without trying. Alas, these apples are not available in America. in the market in Poland and Ukraine, these apples are about 2 times more expensive than any other varieties
