Two of my favorite fruits are figs & persimmons, as well as chirimoya aka guanábana or soupsap. Not knowing about fruit trees can be extremely frustrating when planting and expecting fruit. We bought a persimmon from a garden center in SCarolina around 2008. It grew and now is a giant tree but only last year we had a couple of small uneatable fruit. We planted some others that my husband obtained from a friend 2 yrs back. We will see. But I have considered chopping the whole tree down. Extremely put off with the tree and how much space it takes up without any fruit. To add salt to the wound, the garden center closed about 1 yr after purchasing the tree. Maybe this year coming we will have more success after we fertilize the persimmon. Nope, do not have any idea what type it is.

Persimmon Whip Recipe - I would like to share my persimmon whip recipe, which is absolutely delicious. 2 or 3 ripe persimmons, 1 mug of heavy whipping cream, 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon each of organic maple syrup and honey. Put in nutribullet or blender. Then you spoon out into desert dishes, sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and or brown sugar. My friends persimmon tree has ones just like in this video. They used to grow wild around here, Maryland's Eastern Shorehard to find now. I highly recomend you try a persimmon in your life. I hope you all have a fabulous day.

What a tree; I would love to send you some photographs from Beit Chabab , my village. The tree is so productive and I'm pruning it this coming week, any sunny days as this week is mostly sunny.

I have a Fuyu in the backyard 😁 I also have 2 pears, 2 figs, a peach, 2 paw paws, and 4 hazel nut bushes. I'm kinda fruit tree crazy. My neighbor ended up getting a peach and 2 apple trees as a result-LOL. I thought about getting apple trees but everyone who plants fruit trees around here goes for apples. They are a dime a dozen. I have a rule. I don't plant anything in my yard that doesn't produce an edible product. I have honey berry bushes and thornless blackberries as well. Thornless blackberries and strawberries are great for beginners BTW. They are super easy to grow. They are early heavy producers as well. Blackberries require aggressive pruning sometimes to keep within bounds though. They go crazy once established just like the wild ones. I get gallons of them every year. The blackberries distract the birds from my fruit trees as a bonus.

I guess you all don't know about the most common varieties in Spain. Here a system to eliminate the tanines from the astringent "Rojo Brillante" variety lead to a massive expansion on persimmon popularity. Now i have a astringent and a non astringent trees. The way to eliminate the tanines is to take the fruit when is orange, still firm, and put them in a container with a little liquor. You wait for 5-7 days and the fruit is sweet. Check some videos from Spain and try. Nice video by the way.

Have dozens of American persimmons out back here. Songbirds, deer, and my chickens eat ‘em up fast. Once in awhile my dog or myself get lucky and find a ripe one before it’s gone. Small fruit but taste to me like strained peaches. I’ve tagged one male back there so I don’t accidentally kill it while thinning trees - they’re more fastigate in outline while the females are roundish. Have a young female in the front yard, but it’s under a power-line and I gotta kill it cause it’ll get too tall for that spot. Thought of replacing it with a Japanese cause they’re short enough not to foul the line up there. Bought a Fuyu at the store to try, but was very firm and not as juicy or sweet - but now seeing how your tree-ripened one turned out - changed my mind back again. You cut that thing and I said “He needs a towel!” 😂 Gonna hunt one down next Spring!

I have a five-year-old non-astringent Fuyu persimmon tree. The fruit is great! I usually eat them when they are firm or when they just start to feel a little soft. My one tree gives me well over 100 fruit. This is a really easy tree to grow and mostly needs no care. I usually put some cow manure around the base of the tree in the Spring and that's all I do.

I am an experienced gardener, decades, in fact, but I aways find that other gardeners have useful, interesting information to offer, no matter the length of their experience. Even total beginners teach me things through their questions. I have been learning new things about figs, and now persimmons, on your channel. Well done! I was introduced to persimmons when an exchange student in Japan 50 years ago, and I was totally fascinated. Growing up in high, dry, cold, short-season Northern New Mexico, I had no idea such things existed - almost impossibly exotic looking orange lanterns hanging from the dark, bare branches. As a point of possible interest, I recall bright orange persimmons strung to dry under the eaves of many Japanese farmhouses. Dried persimmons are really delicious. Those hung-to-dry persimmons may have been the cultivar 'Saijo', though that is just a guess. Persimmons grow really well here in Richmond, Virginia, and I regularly recommend them (mostly 'Ichi Ki Kei Jiro') to clients. Thanks again for your work.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Persimmons are truly special fruits, and they deserve to be in wider circulation. They should be widely grown in yards all across the US, because they're so easy to grow, here, which is a rare find since so many things are challenging to grow in North America.

Some persimmons seem to take awhile, while others seem to fruit right away. My Giombo is a notorious alternate bearer when young, and it hasn't held its fruit yet. The Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro is the opposite. It is known to fruit so heavily when young that it can break the tree, so you need to thin them. That's exactly what happened: my Giombo is fruitless after 2.5 years and my Jiro is so laden with fruit after 16 months that I needed to tie the branches to stakes to keep them from snapping.

I moved into my current house out in the backwoods of SC in 2017, and I have about 3 wild American persimmon trees that are growing in my yard, I didn't know what they were before posting to a local native plant ID group, they appear to have a black fungus or spots on the leaves, everyone says that's normal, I don't know how they got here, all I see around is pine and oak. Maybe the seeds were dormant in the ground for years? I know the people that have lived here before me for the last 20 years and they had no idea. It's just crazy, I guess nature finds a way to keep going. I'm excited to see them grow. I thought it was a Paw Paw at first because the leaves look almost identical to me. I planted 2 paw paws so we will see. I'm so excited and if I keep going and keep things alive, I can't wait to see what this place looks like in 10 years.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't take multiple full "work days" to put this all together 😆 But it's worth it, because it'll be a resource that lives forever. Persimmons, especially Asian persimmons, will do well in South Florida, which is great, because it's so hard to grow things down there with the pest and disease pressure. This is one of the few low pressure "temperate" fruits you can grow.

I personally prefer the crisp and firm non astringent ones. The crispier the better... one amazing thing about persimmon trees (at least were I live) is their ability to retain deep orange fuits on the branches after all leaves are gone... sometimes it happens to ser them on naked branches covered by snow... breathtaking.

@@FrostedFlakesify sadly I was never able to find the name. The only thing I know is that it has to be a pollination-dependant one. There are some trees in this region and the production is of the astringent ones, but here and there on the branches, and differently every year, you can find some pollinated fruits that have a brown-ish pulp, sweet and extremely crunchy, more than an apple. Looking for them online I found more than one variety with brown pulp, and since the old people here planted these trees having no idea of their names, I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm sorry about my english and about the uselessness of my answer :(

@TheMillennialGardener Год назад
I would advise against growing persimmons from seed, because you have a very high chance of raising a random seedling with low-quality fruit. It will also take 7-10 years or longer for the tree to produce ripe fruit. When you buy grafted named varieties, you're guaranteed to get high quality fruit, usually within 1-2 years. This tree gave me ripe fruit within 15 months of planting.

You can graft Asian persimmons on them. Or dig them out while still young (it’s almost impossible to dig them out when established). People who hunt deer on their land would love to have them. Persimmon is deer candy.

If you are thinking about growing persimmons, I highly recommend giving it a shot! I lived in Japan for 3 years and fell in love with the fruit there (it is plentiful and a fall staple there) and could not wait to start growing some when I got back to the States! It is my favorite fruit. I have two Asian non-astringents now and I'm planning on getting an American or American -Asian hybrid soon. My bigger tree is only about 6 or 7 feet tall and has already given me about 5 last year and is due for about 12 this year.

Thanks for making this video. We have both a Hachiya (astringent) and Fuyu (non-astringent) and have great success. We are in zone 9. I wanted to share that I dehydrate the astringent persimmons as soon as they turn orange. It’s ok for them to be hard and astringent because the dehydration sweetens them. I can’t tell the difference in flavor between the dehydrated Fuyu or Hachiya. Our Fuyu’s never last long enough to become soft and jelly-like but I do dehydrate as many as possible and gift them at Christmas time. I have also successfully air dried the astringent persimmon in the Japanese style. That was time consuming but worth it. They lasted about a year in the fridge. We ordered a second Hachiya which will come in January. And, by the way, persimmon trees are gorgeous especially in the fall when the leaves turn and then look fantastic when all the leaves are gone and only the orange fruit can be seen. Thanks again for this video, will be sharing it with family.

Sounds wonderful. I can't wait until I have enough to cook with them. A "persimmon bread" where you basically make a banana bread but sub persimmons sounds great. I also love the idea of persimmon jam! If your tree is 2-3 years old, the tree may need either more fertilizer, more water, more sun, or a combination of all three. However, keep in mind it usually takes until Year 3 for a tree to grow. They spend their first 2 years growing roots, so if it was only planted a year or two ago, it is probably putting down roots.

Great intro to Persimmon! I have a Jiro and a Saijo and the latter fruited for the first time this season (after about 5 years). The Jiro fruited the season after I planted (last year) but then didn't fruit much this year - curious if it will alternate-bear? The Saijo didn't really ripen until well into December (zone 7). Jiro I obtained from Edible Landscaping in Virginia and the Saijo from a local nursery (Burke, VA). The Japanese varieties make really nice landscape trees with tropical-looking leaves for 3 seasons and the fruit hangs like ornaments after the leaves drop in winter.

We had a 20 foot native persimmon tree at our previous house. I had to lay sheets under it and wait for the fruit to drop! Persimmon pudding is a thanksgiving staple. The fruits are astringent until frost. Funny story. Our golden retriever would eat the fruit from the ground. Not knowing this I was scooping poop and was frightened finding these large brown things that I had never seen before. I laughed when I finally figured it out! Native persimmons are mostly seeds so watch what you plant. Hopefully Dale won’t encounter any!!!

Hi, like what I told Ross (the fig & persimmon container trees guy) plant a Saijo persimmon. I promise it’s worth the trouble. And, if you still have some space & don’t mind seeds in your fruit, plant a chocolate persimmon. The pollinated fruits are bigger & have better flavor- even the barely ripe Fuyus. Persimmons respond better to branch bending than heavy pruning. I learned this the hard way.

Here in the northwest UK we have been able to buy persimmons in some supermarkets for a few years now. Very few have ripened to be jelly like in the centre, but those are spectacularly delicious. Most semi ripen, and are also very good indeed, though I enjoy them even barely ripe. I planted a little persimmon tree in my coastal garden, where it’s settled in well, and is very pretty with its yellowy-lime leaves that darken in late summer. Whether it will be able to fruit will take time, but it’s something to hope for. The variety is Tipo, but I don’t know more than that.

@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener Год назад
Growing a persimmon in containers is no different than any other tree. Select the smallest cultivars, because the more dwarfing they are, the better they perform. Websites like Edible Landscaping is good to research heights. In your climate, the only choices are probably going to be Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro for a non-astringent and Nikita’s Gift for astringent, since they’re dwarfing and cold hardy. Same rules apply as every other container plant. All trees are much less hardy in containers and need to be constantly fertilized during the growing season due to container washout. Asian persimmons don’t have many pests. Outside of an occasional Japanese beetle, I’ve never had a pest problem.

@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener Год назад
To propagate them, you'll need to buy small American persimmon seedlings (or grow American persimmon seedlings from seed), then graft on scion wood from the Asian persimmons. Asian persimmons should not be planted in North America on their "own roots." I would not try to root a cutting from an Asian persimmon tree. It's grafted only, in my opinion.

There aren't many persimmon diseases you'll need to manage. Diseases are rare, since they are native to the US. If you were to get something fungal, you can use copper or sulfur-based sprays. Fertilizing is identical to any deciduous fruit tree, for the most part. Seasonal compost, mulch and 5-5-5 three times a year. I have a tutorial on pruning here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-01xGOlRogDQ.html

It is likely a cultural issue. Either the soil is unhealthy, the tree is not getting enough sun, the tree is not getting enough fertilizer, or there is some type of pest or disease issue. They should be bearing every year, and heavily. I recommend carefully checking the tree over for any pest or disease problems, add lots of compost and mulch around the base including removing all the weeds in the area competing with the tree, and prune the tree back to encourage new fruiting wood.
