This Fruit Tree Is One You Should Grow.

Persimmon is a fruit tree everyone in South Florida should grow. You can get the persimmon tree and fruit when in season from www.larafarmsmiami.com

[@LatinosOver40]

My Persimmon is called "Fuyu". It took 5 years before it's first fruit starting from a 5 foot baby tree. At 6 years it's currently loaded with lots of fruit.

[@zereendeen9924]

I love persimmons

[@lanaridley-ahukanna8644]

I too love this fruit. We grew up harvesting what we know as wild persimmons.The fruit is smaller and highly nutritive.puddings,purees, pies,and breads. And yes they have to be ripe. The deer love them too...

[@lanaridley-ahukanna8644]

I grew to dislike this larger fruit variety.but I lovewhat I see you have there.I would like to try those here in NC...

[@solomon6675]

Great video! I planted a fuyu persimmon year & a half ago gave twenty fruits last year this year It more than tripled I couldn't believe it. Thanks very much for sharing the info.

[@LatinosOver40]

The good thing about the Persimmon tree you will never have any issues with disease or bugs and I live in Houston, Texas. It can also tolerate temperatures down -5F. It also does not require a lot of water to maintain good growth. The perfect fruit tree ....

[@NMW80]

Wow I’m so getting one. I live in a cool temperate zone so I’m thinking I can grow these now. I never even tried cos I thought it would be too cold here for them.

[@stephaniavanvolkenburg5424]

Not every year, but enough, we get, and stay, below that -5... and our wild ones are prolific

[@LatinosOver40]

My Persimmon fruit is almost ready. I love Persimmon....I'm fighting birds for my share ... LOL

[@rhicminas3908]

In California they got 2 different kind of persimmon One is FUYU and the other one HASHIYA. Hashiya persimmon is good when it's fully ripe or soft or else is gonna be bitter but the FUYU is the best variety you can eat and it's best to eat ripe but hard and it so sweet and juicy. My fruit tree is FUYU and it's been 5yrs now and produce a lot of fruits harvest time is around Sept and October and my tree is only 6ft tall your persimmons is look like FUYU and it look like ready already when it's orange color and when you wipe the fruits is shiny it's ready already

[@johnbanach3875]

The two kinds of persimmons: astringent (which you can only eat when soft) and non-astringent (which you can eat hard and crisp). There are many more varieties of persimmons than just Fuyu and Hachiya. I was a huge fan of Hachiya persimmons when I lived in CA. The fruit can get very large (a couple lbs., I'd say), and the trees can reach twenty feet.

[@kosokhiam5114]

After watching this video only I came to know this is edible fruit. Here in our place there's tons of this in the wild pushes and is starting to ripe... Scence is so good 👍.

[@suechen9933]

I planted a 5 G size Fuyu 5 years ago, it grew slowly, began to produce about 3 dzs of fruits last year, so be patient, you will be rewarded with these wonderful fruits.

[@onortosu]

In South Florida, I am growing a Nishimura Wase "Coffee Cake" Persimmon and I've grafted onto it a couple of branches of Chocolate which can have male flowers for pollination. It seems to be doing all right. I had 3 fruits in the first year, and 2 fruits hanging on this year. I hear Persimmons take 7-10 years to develop full crop. I don't think you'd be limited to just those two varieties you mention. Also regarding those shoots you took off, maybe that was a grafted tree and they came out from the roots rather than from seeds. Usually the root stock is Native American Persimmon 'Diospyros virginiana" which is a very strong grower.

[@thegr8stm8]

Paul… put the near ripe astringent persimmon in the freezer overnight, take out, let thaw and eat… freezing kills astringency. 😉

[@FruitfulTrees]

Yes true I've done that in the past

[@AhJodie]

Thank you. You look so snugly too presenting your cute hair and beard and that you love fruits! You taught me that persimmons grow in my area, so I am going to buy some.

[@jm-yp9gf]

Love persimmons..I have 5 years old fuyu persimmon trees in michigan.

[@kennethsmith8844]

I have the Fuyu and giant Fuyu, the wind knocked off blossoms this Spring in SE Georgia. My Hachiya produced 16 fruits this season

[@lilliananderson1986]

I’m in S. California. I bought some persimmons at the store and going to try and grow from seed. Been pretty good at growing other seeds from fruit 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@valchris11]

I was thinking of getting rid of mine( Fuyu). It's so slow growing and the fruit is smaller each yr. I will mulch the area for next yr and see how it does .

[@sherryn39455]

I have some that look just like those but they are called Fuyu you can eat them right from the tree they are non-astringent, the other I have is astringent and called Hachiya , then the third one is one like yours, I never did know the name of them

[@scottburgle4889]

Used to be a persimmon tree near me growing up….it was 25-30’ tall with an 8” trunk. Don’t know what variety, definitely astringent. So many fruit it could fill up a wheelbarrow.

[@lourdesdoty7765]

Scott Burgle, that most likely was our native American Persimmon. They have the smallest persimmons at only about a 1" wide fruit. They are great for wildlife food plots.

[@thavylor]

We love persimmon, especially the non-astringent persimmons. On that note, we love the astringent ones too, but mostly in dehydrated forms instead of the messy fresh ripen. Most Cambodian home, if there is just a tiny corner to put a little tree, we put non-astringent persimmon tree.

[@franci9936]

They grow wild here in NC and don’t know what kind but they do produce lots of fruit when I see a tree

[@trevoraraujo4888]

I would have grafted a few of the branches with the seedling to see what happens.

[@yanostropicalparadise755]

I'm in zone 9 b, ill be posting a new video for my channel soon. i have a saijo and a masumoto. the saijo is over ten feet tall in 3 years good first crop, the masumoto is a slow grower.

[@landonbrowne6250]

I really like asian fruit trees.. started with some asian pear trees gaint kor they havent fruited yet but i hoping they fruit next year. I like the asian persimmon. gonna try mangos indoor though got 2 coming! dwarfs

[@mad4u3703t2]

If you bury the rootstock, it will grow taller, whereas if you bury below the rootstock it will grow short.

[@MyPlantWorld]

Nice sharing friend

[@abdulqadeerkhan2110]

I hav planted 2 plants. 1 dried but rejuvinated. Hope will be fruiting nxt yr. Lost 1 few yrs back

[@kgtropicalflavors]

Hey, I still have perssimons on my tree. Good video👍🏼

[@petera5560]

You guys get alot of water, in North Texas I find that Persimmon can survive better than other fruit trees with less water, luckily since I do not have automatic watering setup yet, they have endured.

[@BryceGarling]

I grow mainly astringent because fuyu gets eaten by squirrels.

[@aquilaclark814]

I love persimmons too.. I have the wild persimmon tree in my backyard. You have to have a male and female tree with that.. this year it was not very plentiful.

[@bamasurp]

Wild persimmon are not fully ripe until they fall from the tree. They should be very soft when ripe. Of course you know a green persimmon will turn your mouth inside out. Wild persimmon fruit are much smaller. Yours look great!

[@danven1256]

This year was my best crop ever of Fuyu's but the acorn woodpeckers did a real number on them now that they've ripened. I'm also in a extremely dry climate here in Northern California. My home is 800 ft above the valley floor so it's very rare to get below freezing and even then it's only for an hour or two. The summers are very hot and dry and the soil is so well drained that in order to keep the fruit on the tree I have to water the tree every 5 hours around the clock starting in late spring to mid-november otherwise the fruit will just drop off. I do have to say this year they are good size fruit at 3 1/2 to 4 in. in diameter. My plan is to move to a cooler foothill location with a better soil than I have now.

[@thomascurran4606]

Put mulch around it to keep sun off. An holed water in the ground

[@NMW80]

@@thomascurran4606 I was going to say the same thing.

[@NMW80]

Yeah I would be adding things to the soil that hold water. That’s insane having to water so much. Must cost you heaps in water fees? We have to pay for water in Australia I don’t know if you guys do in the US?

[@bullsfoodforest347]

Can that persimmon tree grow in the northern caribbean Islands. I would love to add one to my food forest.

[@FruitfulTrees]

should be able to

[@jolus6678]

Florida isn’t in “the tropics”. The whole state is in the subtropics, along with the rest of the southern US. Subtropical literally means outside the tropics. Florida is subtropical aka mild-winter temperate hence why we experience near 100 degrees in summer and 40 degrees in winter. The tropics don’t experience a big temperature difference like that.

[@gracyd326]

Fuyu is my favorite.

[@LcChubby123]

What kind of mango is the one with the new leaves coming out purple? I’ve only had a persimmon one time and it was so astringent lol. Guess I’ll have to give it another try if you say they’re good!

[@FruitfulTrees]

give it another try they are amazing

[@CampingforCool41]

Unfortunately they really aren’t that cold hardy further than zone 5. I guess it’s all relative. Wish I could grow them.

[@derekmorris7128]

I am assuming persimmon trees are grafted onto native persimmon rootstock (virginiana) in Florida as is recommended in most of the southeast? Do you know if the native types grow in south FL? Some of the natives also have great fruit.

[@FruitfulTrees]

Not sure

[@karen46600]

I love them but i just hate they only bare fruit in October

[@soniademandante8614]

I wish can grow that here in Philippines.

[@johnkillen588]

south central ketucky........ now ( mid october) the persimmons are dropping indicating the ripeness as the squirrels love them...............i just cant figure out how to seperate the nuts from the fruit portion. hardest damnest nut i ever encountered.

[@lilliananderson1986]

Dig a small hole. Put chopped up banana peels into it. Cover it. Your fruit trees will love it!!!

[@bettypogh3910]

Armenians love them too. Yummm

Does any body know where can I buy wholesale persimmons fruit's ? Let me know please .

[@victorv8990]

To make matters more confusing, it's my understanding that Zill's changed the name of the south florida to tropical persimmon

[@johnbanach3875]

They didn't need to change the name, but I think you're right. Why don't they give more of their mangos names instead, like M-4, 80, P-22, O-15, 40-26, etc.?

[@bobmarley965]

Beloved did someone cross the naseberry with a large tomato to get the prisisom?
