American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana)

<< < (4/4)

ggpalms:
Isn't the Triumph persimmon, which bears very well in South Florida, a cross between the American and Japanese persimmon?  The one I planted last winter has had a few growth flushes but hasn't done anything in months.  It still looks pretty straggly.  Is that normal for the first year?  (Jeff or Jason, please weigh in on this!)







This photo is about six weeks old from one of my seven gal trees.

The fruit is now almost ready to pick. This is a Triumph Persimmon. I am growing it in pro mix and pine bark conditioner.
The trees do well, just keep the bugs under control and use plenty of organics. Works for me. The tree is on it's 2nd year. They can look pretty straggly as you say. Again use plenty of organics and feed the soil! Patience John.
