Planting new persimmon tree advise

[Alekhan]

I just got a coffee cake and a chocolate persimmon trees. The trees are still dormant, thin trunk about 5ft with some branches on the top. The roots are not established.

My question is: should I top the trees? OR leave as they are maybe topping later when it got leaves and healthy root system?

Appreciate any advise.

i wouldn't top it.. my Fuyu was dormant until a couple of days ago and now starting to grow new leaves

I'd leave it. You may even get fruit this year. Prune when it goes dormant again.

The chocolate I decide to cut back the branches (half), it's still alive. The coffee cake, the branches all dead so I top it to 29", not sure it will make it. This is from bobwellsnursery.com.
