Persimmons...how do I love thee...let me count the ways.....

@Native Hunter , I know you're a big advocate of persimmons. I collected a bunch of persimmons from the John Hershey plantings in Downingtown, PA this fall and harvested the seeds. If you're interested, I can send you a bunch.

Thanks so much Rgrizzzz for that offer. I probably don’t need any seed, but I’m always looking for different scion wood since we have lots of native seedlings to topwork. If you have any good scion wood from them at some point in the future, I would like that.

Got a dozen persimmons ordered for next March. A couple grafted and 10 common seedlings. Watering trees this year kicked my tail, so that’s all I’m going to plant this-coming year, except for a couple of those funky dogwoods you put me on Native.

I went through this old thread and fixed all of the broken picture links.

Below is a pic of a small native persimmon grove I’ve been watching a couple of years. Today I was able to find female flowers on these so no topworking will be required.

PS - If anyone needs to see the difference between male and female flowers you can look back at Post #91 on page 5 and Post #155 on Page 8.
