My Japanese Fuyu persimmon tree...from planting to harvest in two years..wmv

[@ThatBackYardLifeHWGAC]

Great video, thanks for sharing adding these to the fruit forest this year 2022🤗👍🏽

[@annadavis6361]

I can’t wait! Mine has flowers for the 1st time……great video by the way!!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@zababit]

So kind of you. Thank you Perry. We just planted our very first Fuyu here in Melbourne. Looking forward to sharing some delicious fruit with our family and friends. Cheers Paul and Lily

[@LanceHolt-Actor]

I love this video because of Perry's enthusiasm. He is a real fan of the Persimmon as am I and his enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you Perry for sharing your experiences with the Fuyu and the American varieties. I really want to plant a Fuyu or a Maru persimmon... Just have to convince my wife, who is not yet a fan.

[@daniellealvarengastedford2226]

Everything we need comes from the ground. God is so generous giving us home, food, and also the ability to taste and see the colors of everything that we want to eat. Thanks Jehovah :)

[@ladyofsplendor]

I really enjoyed this video. I planted a fig tree and two hachiya persimmon trees last fall. They are all doing well. My dad grew up in China and introduced us to the hachiya while we ate American persimmons by the bucket full on my grandparents' farm in Missouri. Those ones make for good seed spitting contests if you're into seed spitting. Thank you again for this very informative and delightful video.

[@sonicgen20]

Just planted mine last year, and now the flowers are now small fruits maybe half an inch in diameter. Can't wait for them to fully grow and ripen, it'll be the first time eating a fuyu persimmon grown straight from my back yard.

[@Lafayettelyle]

I really appreciate your timeline photos. I bought a three gallon Fuyu persimmon about six feet tall. Well, 5 feet not counting the pot, three years ago at the Columbia SC farmers market. It hurt the pocket book . I planted it right and watered it about three time the first summer. It grew. The next year it tried a few fruits but failed. This past year it started about two dozen fruits but dropped all but 6. they were delicious. I pruned it in December and saved the twigs in the refridgerator. I found two 18 inch diameter native persimmons on my property in December and collected 200 of the seeds. Some i dried and some i put in moist peat in the fridge. I plan to graft them if they germinate. I would like a Persimmon orchard full one day. Your timeline matches mine.

[@sandraard4306]

I just ordered mine and can't wait to plant and harvest !

[@Mike_92054]

Nice video! The tree my wife planted for for about 3 years ago is finally fruiting, there are probably 30 fruits on it now. Looking forward to October...

[@MakeCalbeLaugh]

it's such a great video, that makes me want to plant my own one

[@petera5560]

I enjoyed this old video, gave me an idea of your Fuyu experience and how the tree grew it's fruit and what it was like eating it at two stages. Nice family too, thanks.

[@gardeningjournal7555]

Yum they look so beautiful. I purchased a Nikita’s Gift persimmon tree and planted a few weeks ago. The buds are starting to swell so I’m glad to know it is alive and adjusting. It was bare root and this is my first persimmon so I don’t know what to expect but I’m looking forward to watching it grow.

[@sharoncourt75]

Hello how is Nikita doing? i bough 1 in a pot and i am keeping there for now, i had a Fuyu and died so o am worried about planting it in this raim season, i dint wjat kill it was the cold do zone 6B, i was told nikita was more cold hardy.

[@LadybugGirlShow]

Nice video. I just invested in two Fuyu persimmon trees. Super excited.

[@contadinaK]

great video, perry! i planted a saijo astringent persimmon this spring and am considering a fuyu variety for the front yard. this was very helpful and i love your enthusiasm. i especially like that you have such a long harvest period.

[@stevendaniel5649]

Makes me want to plant a Fuyu tree. Very popular fruit. Congratulations!!!!

[@hodagibreelosman5133]

Thanks Perry, what makes me admire your video is from beginning at least till it leaves, grows and fruit. Amazing. Sure you waited and watch .... its an enjoyment to see what you grow has good fruits. Keep on.... love to see it fruiting.

[@somjitshartle9063]

I never knew it’s call Japanese persimmon ? I thought it’s from China original. I could be wrong.

[@caseroj6020]

Thanks for posting your video. It was very informative. I ordered two Fuyu persimmon trees from Stark Bros nurseries a few days ago for my home orchard. I don't have much experience with them which is why I went hunting for information about these fruit online and found your video. Everyone says they are great and my neighbor is able to grow them so I figure why not give them a try.

[@Celestes_Nest]

Juan Casero have you tried any of your fruit yet?

[@tranganderson]

Thao it's not bad to eat the skin of the fuyu. It has wonderful nutrients too. Mr. Perry you did an amazing job with your tree. I picked about 6-7 dozen fuyus off my sisters tree this pass fall. I introduced him and his 9 yr old son and is now his favorite fruit!

[@kathyjotourtois]

we love persimmons . my husband just purchased 10 just like the ones you cut up in this video . i can not describe the taste , but they are so unique and sweet . we found seeds in the ones we purchased and i'm saving them but i am pretty sure we can not grow them in michigan . this is the best video i have seen on you tube so far . not many people know what they are nor have ever eaten them here in michigan . ty for sharing this wonderful video and have a great summer !! p.s. you should do an update on your tree for 2015 !! ty

[@dahammerton2719]

+kathy jo tourtois did you find out whether you can grown the trees in your area I am from southern ontario and would like to know if we could grown them here

[@gregry111]

My grandmother had a native persimmon tree in Ohio and it was huge. no problem growing it there. I've heard of them in Minnesota but I don't know which variety. Mine, a Fuyu, has been through several short frosts but I don't know how well it would survive an extended cold spell Give it a try. There's very little to lose and you might end up with an exciting and delicious fruit which you neighbors have never heard of.

[@blackkittie]

Mine are just turning orange! Very excited. We just moved into our house in April... Had no idea what this tree was... So excited to try it.

[@GrishikZavakzalni]

Great video. Appreciate you taking your time and showing the entire process. I just planted one today. 👍👍👍

[@sitimariamchuaabdullah3358]

Great video ! . Grow my own Persimmon from seedlings a few months ago in a pot . Growing healthy .

[@Sunnydaypicnic]

Thanks for the video, I loved it! I can't contain myself with persimmons. I wait all year! I hope to have a persimmon orchard very soon. Hachiya are actually my favorite. I love the sweet bags of goo.

[@livesimplifiedlife]

I like your video. Thank you for sharing Perry Rush.

[@SandyMarquez77]

We have a persimmon tree And this year I Bought a food dehydrator. They are so good :-)

[@haroonebrahimi3456]

Loll you couldn't wait to ripe lol Ur video is awesome n ur voice as well

[@usaklein]

Thank you so much. Great video and valuable information.

[@saxquiz]

I just planted a 6ft tree in my yard and it has about 30 little future persimmons on it. From this video I learned that a lot of them will fall off. Hopefully I'll be left with some to eat come October.

[@dragonfruit453]

Love it 😄😄😄

[@saxquiz]

They all fell off. Hopefully next year I'll have some. I had one fuyu persimmon from the grocery store and it was delicious. My tree is having a rough time, but I'll keep watering and hoping.

[@sharoncourt75]

Be carefull overwatering can kill it they are kind a finiky

[@katiesmith-di3mr]

very nice video!! maybe you could do an update on it next year?

[@gregry111]

It sounds like you planted yours about the same time that I planted mine. Mine too is doing well but is not as tall as yours. It's about five and a half feet. Last year it had one fruit which broke off when I tried to show it to my sister in law. This year it had about twenty persimmons and about half fell off in the wind. I ate the rest. They were delicious. It's kind of strange how few people like or are even aware of this fruit. They are delicious and are one of the few which can be eaten almost throughout the winter.

[@fireflymeg7235]

We planted a 4.5' Fuyu persimmon tree from a nursery in Upland, California in Oct 2014. It budded in spring 2015 and now, in October, has about 1/2 dozen ripening persimmons on it. They are very small but we hope it's an auspicious beginning for many seasons to come. I'd describe the taste of persimmons as sort of like horchata. I watched this video because I wasn't sure when to pick them. I'm going to go pick one now!

[@learning2growmyown]

Very nice fuyu persimmons tree What grow zone are you in?

[@soonzach4017]

Yummy, love persimmons.

[@alejodlt]

well done!!

[@drpk6514]

Nice video thanks

[@per2046]

8:45 "...for these [Persimmons] to have grown to a really soft state..." At what temperature? Would they keep through winter if stored ar refrigerator temperature? Thanks!

[@urbanacres7189]

I have had Fuyu tree for 4 years but it let all persimmon drop off. So hopefully this year it will hold on to some of them.

[@emyvallarta4278]

You mentioned at the beginning of your growing season you have at least 50 fruits but only got 19 fruits at the end. There are two reasons why the fruits is falling off the tree, one over fertilizing and the other one is over watering. This year I have over 500 fruits and only lost 3 fruits. Your fuyu persimmon looks very healthy , you will doing good next year. good luck.

[@crissaulo3097]

I'm now ready to transplant a 4 ft starter nursery Fuyu Persimmon tree from our screened Lanai to our backyard. Do I need to put braces to keep strong winds from blowing them over? It's now 6 ft tall with leaves & tiny branches already sprouting.

[@cubancigarman2687]

My wife prefers this fruit firm. We are on our second tree in the last two years that we bought from our local Lowe’s store. Unfortunately, the trees that we have planted doesn’t look that they made the transplant to ground and I may have to pull it out and exchange for another if still available 😩

[@sharoncourt75]

are the trees Fuyu as well?

[@cubancigarman2687]

maria mahr yes, fuyu preferred. The second tree is doing really good. Made it through it’s second frost and snow year. This year it sprouted leaves late March, so that’s a very good sign. I love growing fruit trees, at least we can share the fruits!

[@sharoncourt75]

@@cubancigarman2687 mine didn came back is may still no leaves it is dead i got me a Nikita they said is more cold hardy so crosisng fingers again

[@cubancigarman2687]

maria mahr ok, good luck! They usually sell species by region and hope all goes well for you.

[@MyHouseOfLearning]

That took a lot of time and patience to make this video and really appreciate your doing that. I really am not familiar with the persimmon fruit but I think I will plant a few. Did you mail order your trees or buy them from a local nursery?

[@mylittleworlds.d.6749]

When all of the leafs fall off, I would only pick one to test, before picking all of them.

[@Z71Ranger]

I purchased me a Fuyu persimmon tree this spring... It's about 6 1/2 feet tall and has the little green flower buds on it now... I can't believe it is going to fruit in the first year... I can't wait...

[@nhitrang1752]

japanese fuyu looks sooooooooo goooooddd

[@Sia_playsYT]

hi perry, any tips on growing these trees? wherever i read thaty say its an easiest tree to grow but in my case i have managed to kill 7 till now. Thanks

[@JesseChoupique]

Have you ever tried putting them in a steam juicer?

[@perryrush5378]

When I first made this video as a non-expert on the subject I had no idea so many people like myself were out there. I was curious about whether I could grow this delicious fruit in our area and then ran across a man who had a tree in his yard not far from me here in Boiling Springs, SC. We have blueberries that come on for about 2 months and muscadines that give a great crop every year. I'm just like many of you who just want good fruit in my yard. Just start somewhere and learn as you grow. :) Perry

[@CTK725]

I really like your enthusiasm and I hope your tree is doing really well today

[@McFarnell]

When should you pick them? I'm near Portland Or and mine is just starting to turn orange.

[@andrews2683]

My backyard neighbor has one that branches over to my yard. Seeds fell around the same time we moved in about a year ago there have been at least 10 seedlings that have grown I got 3 or 4 that have grown over. 5 feet in less then a year and that's with me chopping them down once cause I thought it was ivy

[@Adele-d9k]

My tree was shipped today I can’t wait.paid 130.00 for a 3-5 feet tree

[@wildman8601]

I'm in New York want to grow for my parents what do you recommend fuyu or American or both lol

[@sharoncourt75]

Hello i do not recomend fuyu if is zone 7B yes if colder no, mine died in zone 6B where i was tops it would grow, i recently bough a Nikita that is more.cold tolerant, american are more tolerant of cold but.if tjey are.grafted they are expnsive.and if not they grow huge. In my experience dont buy bare root by a poted 1

[@Skypilot3764]

Perry, I live in Summerville, SC. Not far from you. Dad, before he passed in Feb, has a Hachiya tree that fruited very well this year (2019). Do you have any small trees you'd maybe sell? I'd like to have some Fuyu's too. Lmk, Tim Plymel

[@draftzero]

Thanks for this, any recommendations on whom to buy the tree from?

[@chheng]

Me, go look on ebay and search for 3yr old Persimmon tree.

[@tranganderson]

My stepson loves them too. The Hachiya persimmons get too mushy and will taste pop

[@EastCoastReefer]

That’s a giant fuyu, not the regular fuyu which are the flat type and don’t soften

[@ladyblacketter1646]

Where did you order your plant?

[@HaibTshajHaib]

I am so jealous. I had one but it died. I am going to buy another one.

[@sharoncourt75]

What kind? i had Fuyu and died now tryng with Nikita

[@MsCmsh]

I love persimmons, too!! I want to tell you actually Fuyu persimmons are intended to be eaten when they are crunchy. There’s another type of persimmons that are intended to be eaten when ripe and soften, but NOT Fuyu!

[@daniellebron8127]

Will this tree grow in the Caribbean?

[@perryrush5378]

+DANIEL LEBRON I'm not an expert. Just growing my own.

[@gregry111]

probably so

[@BabyTap2010]

I just ate 3 with a spoon😆

[@ngocbirrer9310]

Did you know why the fruits fall of???

[@lindalukas1698]

Can you start a tree from the seed? I am looking for instructions.....

[@macktyner]

Yes, but you will get some variability in the fruit. I have started hundreds of Tanenashi trees from seeds, and a few Fuyus. The seedling trees produce fruit that itself is full of seeds.... up to 8 per fruit. This cuts down on the actual amount of fruit flesh that you get, and makes eating them tougher, and making pies also tougher. The seeds are fairly large, and are cheap to buy on ebay.... Finding a seed yourself in a store bought persimmon is difficult, since commercial growers try to sell only seedless fruit. Good luck !

[@stevenlauj725]

you can order the giant fuyu from www tyty.com.....they sell you fuyu persimmon trees..........

[@dahammerton2719]

+Mack Tyner do you think they will grown in southern Ontario Canada

[@sharoncourt75]

Linda most of this japanese are grafted trees, they are a branch from a good tree atach to a dwarfing roostock, the see will never be the same tree quality, you can do seeds from american Persimon wich grow very tall and needs another 1 for pollination.

[@kumarenarmada1680]

I need seeds how take please explain me

[@TheASTrader]

Do persimmons fruit from last year's wood or new wood? By the looks of it here, they fruit on new wood.

[@Poipounda007]

so anxious and dont blaming you .... they are delicious

[@051658]

I don’t presume to be an expert, but my fruit trees when they dropped the fruit was because of the lack of iron, somebody mentioned, see if you can find some of those big nails used to nail down railroads, nail it at the base of the tree, and eventually , when it gets rusty , the rust will give nutrients to the tree for years to come, I tried it and it work, now not even one tenth of the fruit is lost

[@aprilmartin9631]

My tree ripens from top to bottom, the birds get the first ones.

[@MrShaneerdy]

would you like to trade some plant material? If your interested please contact me at [e-mail] and I'll let you know what all Ill have

[@theresa94010]

Do you prune your persimmon tree after harvesting? Or just leave it alone?

[@thelinlee]

the ones you have to let it get really soft before eating is a different type of persimmons. this type is eaten when they're still hard. if you let it ripen soft, it would not taste as good.

[@Fantabiscuit]

Tom Cruise grows some good persimmon trees

[@cjcxjxj]

Why are ypu eating it with the skin?

[@bluefig797]

Hey Michael Porter, the Fuyu persimmon doesn't need to ripen to that level.

[@michaelporter8094]

that is not ripe man, it needs to be uber-soft. like a tomato

[@juanitaiveyivey]

I live in Florida send me some seeds

[@ichoudhury007]

Fuyu persimmons are seedless :) ... Besides that, you wouldn't want to grow a Persimmon tree from seed because ones that do produces seeds, the fruit was the result of two type of trees and seed will produce a tree that would never taste the same as the fruit you ate (extremely rare). Your best bet is to buy a persimmon tree that was grafted or air layered (you want to invest on a tree that will most certainly give you the same result that you waited so long for and expected).

[@tranganderson]

*Will taste slimy, not pop.

[@xiaoshu86112]

It is not Japanese food.

This year we had an amazing bumper crop of persimmons. We dried most of them but had so many we ate them every day for several months!
