Nikita's Gift - a tasty late-season producer!

Just grafted this to a wild persimmon in the yard. Now I know what I will get in a few years.

great!

@@TheFoodscaper It would have been smarter for me to have found this video before I did the grafting. I put Kasandra and Nikita's Gift on a total of 5 branches....3 and 2. I had a 50/50 chance of having put the better one in its place. It appears now that I put the more vigorous one below 3 times, and the more dwarf growing on on top 2 times. Could be a problem child. lol The tree itself is male, so I will leave a branch of that alone.

I have probably a 3 year old tree and it always drops it's fruit on me. This year I made sure i gave it the right water and fertilizer but they are dropping a lot. I only have a few fruit left on the tree and I am afraid they will also fall. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas?

Any idea if an American Persimmon is near enough for cross-pollinating, will it increase yields?

[@TheFoodscaper]

Can't be sure but I don't think so

[@truthsayer6329]

How long after you planted it did it start to bear fruit?

4 years (sorry for missing this comment!)
