I love your campus of fruits! I've visited several times and you let me graze around. You also have the most beautiful driveway in fall. May your business thrive as more people discover your high quality plants!

[@Ppw1982]

Where is it located?

[@Ppw1982]

Persimmons my favorite fruit. I didn’t realize how many varieties. I love your campus of fruits. I just found your channel. Amazing!

[@artemdro]

wonderful and very informative movie, which is inspiring you to get some delicious persimmons. thanks for sharing!

[@thedungeon1288]

Man would I love to take a stroll in your garden. I would have a full and happy belly for sure!

[@lowellalia9876]

It’s very satisfying when someone is picking a piece of fruit and tasting it right away. The way you describe the taste and texture for each fruit makes me feel like I’m there with you guys. I’m looking into planting one or two of these trees in my front yard in the next few weeks. Your in-depth description of each cultivar whittles down my decision to the Asian varieties. I have to watch the video again to make my final decision. Thank you for this comprehensive review!

[@SeeLight222]

What a colorful orchard! Very beautiful place .

[@lydiazafra3476]

Love your persimmons presentation so lovely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@scottfranklin4541]

Micheal, glad to scroll to your video on the wild world web… especially when persimmon harvest &ed landscaping was on my mind… hope to see you soon sir, i remember cutting my teeth in your greenhouse/ nursery back in the eighties

[@GardenForaged]

Love the new quality of the video. I'm hoping to head down this summer to check out the orchards. I bought about 15 trees last time I went lol 😂

[@soonzach4017]

I am a new subscriber, love Persimmons 👍🙏

[@AncientHippie]

Thanks for helping to keep me learning. Early in my life I bought 2 persimmon trees. Not knowing anything about them, they were American. They produced tiny astringent fruit that I hated. After I figured out that they needed to be so soft they were mostly seeds it wasn't worth it. I gave up. Now I own a Fuyu, Jiro , Chocolate, Hachiya and Izu.

[@wildswan221]

Oh, hey, I had been meaning to buy some more persimmon trees from you! Good timing on the video!

[@yiyunjie]

wow！nice! I was just checking out on your website! Trying to grow a couple of fruit trees in my yard! Persimmon is a must have!

[@lucasbarahona9384]

I live kinda close to edible landscaping nursery and I keep coming back over and over because I love the quality of the trees they have.

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

Great video and recap of multiple varieties! We have a very nice native persimmon on our property, took us several years to realize it and should have videoed the kids trying them unripe. We have found that on our tree they can be picked on tree if they are very soft, no need to wait on frost or to fall. (Although most fall before you need to pick any off the tree.) Hoping to graft some Asian varieties onto American rootstock this year.

[@ryangartley5432]

Thanks for making this video. Good stuff. I planted prok and nikitas gift. Can’t wait to get some fruit.

[@BroadShouldersFarm]

Yay!! So excited to see this!’

[@Piscacho4u]

I have the goambo(16:29) in Houston, love it very productive and a very sweet.

[@jbirdfunk]

I wish you could ship to CA! Great video

[@LinhHarvesting]

Great job on the harvesting

[@chanthana7694]

6:55 I don't know if it sounds right or wrong, but that works for me. 😂

[@jordihull]

6:28 in Japanese hana means flower and fuyu means winter. So it must put out a nice flower in winter I’m guessing ?

[@edenoftheworld1090]

perhaps more that it fruits in the winter.

[@lydiazafra3476]

Wow you have different kinds of persimmons , do you sell ready to plant persimmons , it should be very encouraging to plant …tnx a lot …

[@MinMin-yq2di]

Japanese persimmon ❤I will be planning trees Honolulu Hawaii don't know can planning persimmon not sure ?

[@troydunn6228]

I enjoyed the tour. I hope to get a Ruby American Persimmon from you this year. I noticed it doesn't appear you mulch around your Persimmons. Any reason why or why not? Thank you.

[@Darkice77]

I've always known about them but I've never tasted one. I recently found out there are now some that aren't astringent. I want to plant a bunch of those trees. I have a food forests going right now with about 100 trees and bushes.

[@dictionaryzzz]

I have Nikitas Gift and Meader. No fruit yet the trees are less than 2 years old. I did see a flower on the Meader already but fruit did not set. I am in Pennsylvania zone 6A.

[@ediblelandscaping]

Be patient.

[@davidhart8575]

Great video! I live in zone 7b , I planted a fuyu about 6 yrs ago,it is growing good,its about 10 ft high, the last 2 or 3 yrs it was covered with blooms but has never had any fruit, I was wondering if you may know why.thank you

[@timschannel910]

So will this grow in North Caroline

[@johnbalasa711]

Great job, how long ago you started? It seems like some of the trees are 25-35 years old.

[@mimibergerac7792]

Nice tour. I have to use diospyros lotus as rootstock and read the non astringent varietes bar a few grow weakly on it, an interstem with a hybrid should help that.

[@roblena7977]

I found several mature persimmons trees on my yard. Only one tree is producing a single tiny fruit. Will you guys sell asian scions later?

[@Olvee]

Great video, really nice quality! What are the hardiest, earliest cultivars you would recommend? Im currently growing american p. root stock from seed, but struggling to choose scion wood. Live in coastal Norway, cool summers.

[@ediblelandscaping]

American persimmons should work, but we can't ship to you. Sorry.

[@ManangMeme]

Do you have website ?

[@mariaceciliabalanza2613]

I love persimmon fruit even it is very expensive here in the Philippines.

[@nicholaspappas101]

Do you have any zone 4 cold hardy persimmons available?

[@MakePeace123]

What persimmon variety is last to ripen

[@soonzach4017]

Yummy, yummy ❤️👋

[@eduardion8145]

Hello, These varieties of persimmons up to what temperature can they withstand in winter? I am from Romania

[@JonathanFitzgerald-z7b]

Hi there! I'm from Bulgaria and have been growing Rosseyanka successfully for several years and it hasn't suffered any cold or frost damage and has born fruit already. It hasn't been colder than -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). So I'm thinking any of the Ukrainian/Russian hybrids should be alright, but maybe first I should ask how cold it gets over there? I also had (Ichi ki Kei) Jiro, but it was killed by a late frost in April (-5 Celsius). From the Japanese varieties I did have Saijo as well, but it was a small tree that leafed out very late in it's first season, hence the wood didn't mature well and it died the following winter. Other lose young shoots and buds which hurts blooming and fruiting. So I've really focused on hybrids. I did gave a couple of American persimmons on diospyros lotus rootstock. I suspect some incompatibility. They almost all died. The ones I later grafted on diospyros Virginians rootstock are doing very well. The American persimmon is cold gsrfyy,but the fruits are smaller. Costata is a Japanese variety that is doing better. But I don't know what you have in Romania and if you could order trees or scionwood from Bulgaria or elsewhere.

[@JonathanFitzgerald-z7b]

Just to add that Rosseyanka should be fine to as low as -30 Celsius. Nikitskaya to -26. Most hybrids can withstand up to negative 24-25 degrees Celsius. Thanks for the beautiful and informative video!

[@shadygerges4869]

Hi, I love that fruit and I live in zone 4 please if you can help and recommend the right variety. That can’t take cold.

[@ediblelandscaping]

American persimmons.

[@saswk1]

Did you ever succeed in rooting persimmons from cuttings? If yes which varieties? Thank You

[@ediblelandscaping]

Grafting is more successful.

[@brians2733]

I’m just recently starting to research the persimmon tree upon recommendation from the state forester. Since they’re for wildlife in a timber area, he recommends native species only, so the American species will be my option. Hopefully the deer don’t eat the trees before they mature.

[@rosaliepurvis4910]

Do you sell persimmon

[@theresa94010]

Hi Michael, I have a FuYu that is finally giving me a good harvest this year after 6-7 years, however, the vast majority of the fruit are "infected" by something, the core of the fruit are black, terrible looking. You mention pests, disease are rare in persimmon and no other persimmon growers that I know of have had this problem. You have any insight or advice you can give me? I would appreciate it so much. Im in zone 9, Northern California.

[@danchu5043]

My tree produced an extra large fuyu at 18.45 ounces

[@jake8283]

Do you selling trees by any chance?

[@annabellemang]

at 22:05 he says- "a few of the plants we sell..."

[@Qingeaton]

I'm in mid Missouri. I have Yates and Prok. Prok is far superior to Yates here on our farm.

[@МаринаПилипенко-л9я]

Michurin died 20 years before rosseyanka was bred in Crimea botanical garden

IN ABLE TO EAT MEAL AS RIPE FRUIT IS TO PEAL THE LAER FROM OUT AND EAT THE RUB.

[@judahbrutus]

The sounds of them eating is kind of gross

[@instabloksuncare808]

I have a Fuyu variety and this season, no fruit stayed on the tree. All the babies dropped long ago. In the past, this grafted tree gave me at least 15 fruits (it’s small and only 5 years old). Any suggestions? I don’t do anything but mulch the tree. Maybe compost if I have some to spare. TIA!

[@tj21bem]

It needs regular watering. Maybe the soil got too dry so it dropped the fruits. You can put some compost & long acting balanced fertilizer pellets (not a lot!) if the tree is small & scraggly. If it becomes vigorous, stop giving fertilizer or use the low nitrogen one.

[@lowellalia9876]

It’s very satisfying when someone is picking a piece of fruit and tasting it right away. The way you describe the taste and texture for each fruit makes me feel like I’m there with you guys.
