Let's talk about Persimmon varieties!

[@maribelhilario2148]

I love persimmons. Specially when they are ripe. Thanks for your video, very instructive!

[@sweetgirlfarms]

You are so welcome!

[@pat1839]

Wow . I like your presentation. Thanks for the information

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Of course! Thank you for watching 💚

[@sunshine467sun]

Thank you for the side by side comparison! I thought giant fuyu was larger and also flat. I didn’t know they were rounder.

[@joestropicals6760]

Thank you for this information fun video. I am growing a Spanish variant of the Japanese variety, called Rojo brillante. This year is the first time it’s fruited for me 🤗

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Woah! I need to learn about that variety! Keep on growing :D

[@caloxide4447]

I have been looking for the Spanish variant maybe aka vanilla persimmon. I have only seen and tasted them in Vancouver

[@carolgebert7833]

Update, please. I just got some of these small trees. It will be a while before I get fruit. How did they ripen for you?

[@krassiechocheva3141]

I really like Rojo Brillante because it's crunchy but I'm not sure if they will frozen in the winter in Bulgaria. I'm looking for other crunchy varieties. Have you compared other varieties with Rojo?

[@bounmilly6519]

Thank you for sharing,. I have a question? My persimmon trees glow up my seeds , have been 5 years old, why no fruit?

[@scottburgle4889]

I would love to know how you take care of you persimmons from planting to harvest. What type of soil do they prefer? What fertilizers? How often do you water? Any special recommendations?

[@amandaa8472]

Hi! I have a question. Where I live, we have two persimmon varieties that you can buy, and it seems to be Fuyu and Hichiya, but I have read and heard from many sources that the Fuyu is the one that can be eaten firm while the Hichiya has to be super soft, but in my experience it's the opposite? At least with the Hichiya looking one. It is astringent and bitter when unripe, yes, but when it gets some little brown spots (which I've heard is sugar culmulations?) but is still sorta firm, it is perfectly fine to eat. I prefer them firm. The peel is also edible on these. But I've always heard that the Hichiya can only be eaten soft, and people don't tend to et the peel. So this might be another variety, but I don't know which?

[@josephjude1290]

Great video; how are the persimmon trees doing?

[@sweetgirlfarms]

They did average for 2021 harvest.

[@KimikarazonGardening]

I love persimmon

[@vijayawasti1496]

Wonderful. Giant Fuyu is soft and melting. Is it hybrid or strain or selection of non astringent Fuyu please? Thanks. Keep it up. God bless. Welcome and heartiest regards from India. 👌👍❤️🙏🙏

[@soniatriana9091]

Yes, persimmons are an amazing fruit that many people don’t know about or have never eaten! But it’s outstanding!! Fuyu can be eaten in any stage, firm or as it’s softening, until it becomes a super soft, super sweet creamy pudding! You can freeze the soft creamy fruit to eat or to bake with at another time! I also bake with the crunchy stage & it’s outstanding!! The Asian culture also love & value Persimmons! They dry then whole for future consumption(great snack👍🏻🤗)!! **Trying to limit the birds & rodents is the biggest challenge of ALL!! Liset -- what does your family do to limit/discourage the birds & rodents? I would love your ideas!!

[@sweetgirlfarms]

We hang up shiny strings that reflect lots of light to deter birds from eating them, but its hard to protect our fruit from animals 100%.

[@Egno1949]

Hello Question… We have a five year old Fuyu tree. Last two years we’ll have flowers & become small fruit but eventually drop all of them. Baby fruit has brown on top. We live in California and it gets lots of sun. Is this normal to drop fruit?

[@dc1397]

I am getting a Chocolate Persimmon from Trees of Antiquity next year. I have never had Persimmon before. It stated 'superb' flavor, so that is what I went with.

[@Hansulf]

The thing that gives the persimons/kakis (family name is persimon, but the fruit name is kaki) the drymouth/astringent taste are called tannins.

[@eduardion8145]

Hello! Can you tell me what temperature Fuyu persimmon trees can withstand in winter?

[@ahmedelawady7315]

I liked this very much and thank you for your effort. I am from Egypt and I hope to meet you to see that tree in nature. What country are you from, my friend? And can I travel to you?

[@danconstanciojr8476]

Love those leaves… healthy… are they good for tea?😊

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Thank you !

[@ivansoto32]

Hello, I liked your video, which of the persimmons do you recommend? I live in Virginia. if you sell any variety

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Hi, I sell fresh fruit. The more people have inquired about buying persimmon trees, the more it's encouraged me to look into selling them. For the time being, if you'd like a fresh eating persimmon, Fuyu Persimmon varieties are excellent!

[@ivansoto32]

[@GardenloveHomestead]

Hi, new subscribers I'm abosess with fruit trees. I'm currently starting my orchard in our 4 acres home. I'm also recording the progess. I would live to visit your farm.

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Awww thank you! 💚

[@eduardion8145]

Hello! Can you help me with some information about the persimmons (kaki) varieties that can adapt to Eastern Europe, Romania, where in winter we have an annual average temperature in our area of ​​Găesti (postal code 135200) of -5 -10 degrees? I want to create a small orchard for family consumption! Thank you! Sincerely, Eduard Ion

[@ElviraSongalla]

So much fruit ilang taon na ako di nakabili nito bihira makarating sa lugar ko sana ngayong December makabili ako nito wish me goodluck

[@karlafernandez9449]

I have a regular fuyu variety and i am not sure if its doing well...I am thinking its dormant but it does not have any branches. It is only the main branch. I have had the tree for one year so i am jot sure if it will make it? Any tips on young trees?

[@krystleamber8180]

Hello, my fuyu tree is the same, it’s just the main branch and losing leaves. Ive only has the tree for a couple of months not a year yet. May I please ask has your fuyu tree grown yet?

[@sweetgirlfarms]

We have that happen when our soil is not properly prepped and/or too compacted.

[@genejaytre]

The regular fuyu persimmon is good for both as well. It’s taste like honey

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Yes! For the past two years we've sold plenty of soft Fuyus and people love them for their sweetness.

[@venus9930]

Is the giant persimmon same jiro persimmons ? And what’s the difference?

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Hi! I'm not familiar with Jiro persimmons. These are called Giant Fuyu Persimmons and can be eaten firm or soft.

[@joeartega1712]

I love pwrsimmons

[@teddybearMonaco]

Hi , how many kg produce per year this kind of fruit tree . Thankyou .

[@sweetgirlfarms]

it varies from year to year

[@lydiazafra3476]

Where’s your farm at ?

[@lydiazafra3476]

Persimmons always have leaves , the more leaves the more fruits but during the falls the leaves falls down only fruits is left, my friend has a tree , another person has about 75 plantation trees , my number one fruit in USA but it’s seasonal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LoanNguyen-sb6pj]

Where are you from.I love them very much.Thank you

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Bien and raised in L.A.

[@nello8630]

The hachiya and the giombo are both astringent and are shaped like acorns, the giombo being the larger persimmon.

How can i HRW this persimmons

[@ms.quinniesplayroom5594]

Have you heard of the Suruga Persimmon? I just bout a tree in rhat variety. I havent seen much about that variety😔

[@sweetgirlfarms]

I have not.

[@TV-yj9mh]

Do you think fuyu persimmon will be able survive in winter zone 5? Thanks very nice trees there

[@nexxogen]

No. Asian persimmons are zone 7 trees. Your best bet is to try selected American persimmon varieties.

[@sweetgirlfarms]

Hello! Fuyu persimmons do best in zones 7-10. Fuyu is a Japanese variety. However, there are American varieties that will be more tolerant of the cold in your zone 5. Here are a few links with info to help you grow some delicious persimmons :D Happy growing!! www.starkbros.com/products/fruit-trees/persimmon-trees/fuyu-asian-persimmon morningchores.com/growing-persimmons/

[@TV-yj9mh]

Thank you ,I really don’t like American persimmon

[@sweetgirlfarms]

lol I get it...the flavors and textures are different.

[@nile7014]

Yes.

[@Bevisgreat]

Really makes me want to shop for fruit!

[@sweetgirlfarms]

I love it!

[@lindabonilla6173]

The giro variety

[@saminamahmood1932]

How to grw

[@beebop9808]

Look at all those stinking persimmons! Never met one I didn't like. Saw a video a while back of an Asian lady with some beautiful fuyu trees. She never spoke but picked a fruit and broke it open. All juicy and yummy looking. She tossed it over her shoulder and shook her head no. I was like what? No what?!! 🤣Anyhow she picked another that was obviously dehydrated and when she broke it open it was thick and gooey much like a full ripe American persimmon. Shook her head "yes" and I was thinking oh yeah, I get it! Persimmons just started coming in around here. Gotta try that this year if I can refrain from gobbling them up before they get there! 🤣

[@guadalupeplacidocruz9079]

Hola como se yama el persimon que se puede comer sin nesecidad de que este bien maduro?

[@sweetgirlfarms]

La variedad para comer sin necesidad de que este bien maduro es 'Fuyu" Usualmente, son redondos como una calabaza de Halloween, pero hay muchas variantes de "Fuyu".

[@lydiazafra3476]

My friend who has persimmon plantation has nets on all the 75 trees and he has an artificial birds chirping on the surrounding…

[@akshaychauhan8864]

I want jiro persimmon in root stock

[@nexxogen]

You keep saying how soft persimmons are for baking. They are as much for eating fresh as the hard ones are. When persimmons get soft, especially the astringent ones, they develop a better flavor than they have when they are still hard.

[@sweetgirlfarms]

You hit it right on the money!! :D

[@creamcohen8038]

Where do you live? Can I buy your persimmon?

[@lydiazafra3476]

Hichiya is astringent it has to be truly ripen to be eaten or bake all other persimmons can be eaten crispy when it color is dark orange

[@minh4835]

Chocolate persimmons are non-astringent

[@sweetgirlfarms]

For the most part but it’s best to let them ripen more than regular Fuyus, from my experience ☺️

[@drmasroberts]

Please ditch the background music.

[@adam_1144]

I liked it

[@Pay-It_Forward]

Only 3 different Kaki fruits superficially discussed & nothing about the cultivars themselves. Not a Diospyros species & cultivars, education video!
