My persimmon tree is first time flowering ...but most flowers falling off.how to prevent against butterfly larva on my persimmon leaves

[@yellowdog762jb]

My Fuyu is about 18 years old and we get hundreds of fruits off of it. For years we struggled with what to do with so much fruit. Now we dehydrate a lot of it. Persimmons are wonderful when dehydrated and they are useful not only in a snack but chopped up in salad, oatmeal and cereal. I use a food slicer to cut them into equally thick sections, just a tad thinner than one would slice a tomato for a burger. The cut the stem part out of the last section on top. After about two days on the dehydrator they are ready. I just found some in an airtight jar in the back of the pantry from 18 months ago. I've started drying my figs as well. I cut them in half for better results, and they fit in the dehydrator trays better also. I tried drying citrus. Blah! Most aren't good. You might want to do a few for a colorful potpourri, or maybe some lemons for hot tea. But that's it IMO.

[@tthappyrock368]

Persimmons are on my list of trees to plant in my yard!

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

Definitely add them. Now is the perfect time to plant them, but you're running out of time for spring fruit tree planting. Persimmons fruit quickly, so the faster you can get them in, the better.

[@valoriegriego5212]

Y'all are going to have some beautiful fruits!👍

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

I hope so 😁

[@MichaelRei99]

Don’t have any persimmon trees but I still enjoy gaining the knowledge!!

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

I recommend adding one. They're unlike any other fruit. I have a guide on growing them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfOYoh8jLCNg6c

So helpful! We pruned our persimmon trees like this. They were planted last year and are the size of your Jiro persimmon, would you recommend picking off fruits that set this year so they can focus on branches the way you would a peach or a plum?

[@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766]

i love the tips. i havnt got persimmon yet but its in the works

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

They're incredible. I can't recommend them enough.

[@shekharmoona544]

In Africa they started a process where they keep mango trees low to the ground. It auds in higher yields and allows for less use of fungicides and insect infestations. Large trees wasted a lot of fruit and harder to maintain. With 30 percent of fruit ending up rotten, mis-ripened orcon the ground.

[@sislertx]

Hi I love your videos. Was wondering if you could recommend where to buy the ICHI KI KEI JIRO trees. Thank you for your time

[@vdoniel]

Thanks I just harvested about 40 lbs of Hachiya persimmons. Idk how old the tree is we planted it 3 yrs ago. It is about 10 feet tall. Will your modified center leader work on my tree? This was a great video.

[@beebop9808]

My native tree is close to 50 feet tall but it's lost lower branches recently for some reason? Looking to plant a couple more soon. Neighbor across the street has a beautiful tree about 25-30 feet tall with a 20 foot canopy. Holy cow, thing is loaded this year with at least three bushels of fruit. Deer gonna be fat this year! lol

[@fengmeiwuu]

Can you share the link for how to prune the tree during winter time. Thanks

[@josephjude1290]

Great and informative; do you think they would grow good in pots?

[@vnxettitw4879]

I'm trying it out just now. I read that they need large size at least 20 in tall & wide. This lady in CA grows hers potted & they fruit pretty well! I'm in Texas.

[@apeacefulplace7854]

this my second year of mine. fruit all over. i tulle bagged as many as i could

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

Excellent! Perismmons can fruit very quickly. My Giombo is an alternate bearer when young, so it takes awhile, but my Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro fruited an overwhelming amount for the tree the second year.

[@jazandriz]

any experience with leaf curl? My Nikita's gift is in year 3 and hasn't bloomed and has leaf curl, so frustrating.

[@auroragarcia772]

Can you give me the lists I need to plant the persimmons like fertilzer and somethings else

[@mariomene2051]

Is it cutting the tips (cutting the apically dominant parts off) that makes the side branching--as is the case with Blackberries, etc?

[@IThinkICare]

So my question has to do with the lower branches. Most of the growth and flower coming from above but what is going to happen on the branches lower left at 0:40 ? They were not cut yet nothing on them. Full leaves on the others so assume it wasn't just late on budding. thanks

[@BrovaKain_357]

Hey! Love the channel a lot. I recent purchased a Matsumoto persimmon . I have very tight spacing but still want to grow this variety. Issue is that it can get to 20ft. If I prune the central leader to 3ft( it's currently 6ft. Will this control the height so I can at least pick fruit at 10ft? Thank you

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

Any tree can be controlled to any height you wish by annual pruning. I have an avocado tree in ground, which can grow 15-20 feet, but I maintain it at 6-8 feet year round. Any Asian persimmon can be kept at the 8-10ft size through annual pruning. I have a video on pruning persimmon trees here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmLbeIKih9SaerMsi=idAtJb7qUXa1e-SF

[@BernadineMarsalisi]

Hello What is the best fertilizer to use on a Persimmon tree and when ?

[@NEMO-NEMO]

How bout plums and peaches? Thank you

[@afrocraft1]

About how far from the fence is that Giombo planted, please? I'm getting ready to plan my Nikita's Gift in a similar location. Thanks!

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

3 feet. You'll have to prune it annually.

[@ez6103]

Is this specific to persimmon trees? I've heard that fruit trees can be pruned aggressively during winter months to maximize production and deter tall tree heights. I'm not sure if that requires dwarf varieties to start. Do you have any videos about this you can point me too, please, on this or your other channel? TIA! Grateful for your content!

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

It depends on the tree. Trees that fruit on the new year's growth can be pruned aggressively, so persimmons and figs, for example, can really be cut back. Fruits that fruit on previous year's growth or on fruit spurs, like blackberries, raspberries and apples, for example, can't be cut back too hard or you can remove the fruit wood. Each tree needs to be researched individually.

[@francinepostiglione7302]

I learned so much from your videos. Unfortunately I was late to prune my 2.5 year old persimmon and now it’s getting very tall. Can I dead head cut in the fall to keep him short ? Thank you

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

Once dormant, yes. Don't cut the tree when it's actively growing, because it could cause a lot of stress. I would wait until the tree is completely defoliated and bare of fruit to begin that. Please be aware that it may set the tree back quite a bit the following year, but in the long run, it may be worth it.

[@claudettelp]

I don't see the link you mentioned about a video showing how to prune your persimmon tree to produce more fruit. Can you please post it, again? My Hyachia tree is 5 years old and is growing very tall but only had 5 persimmons this year and they all fell off the tree when they were about 1 and 1/2 inch. It is spring almost summer in 2 weeks, so I dont think I should be pruning my tree, now, right?

[@WorldMarketing721]

Hi, my persimmon tree is about 2 inches long, the couple of leaves i had on it got messed up by the cat, and now, nothing is growing, its in soil that i got from my back yard that i mixed with some bag soil. So I’m not sure if it doesn’t have enough nutrients, or the cats killed my tree, please help

[@gustavocalderon3592]

What will you recommend to fertilize a persimmon tree, that drop the flower or small fruit

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

Fruit drop can be caused by many different things. Over-fertilizing can cause fruit drop. So can drought stress, and young trees also can drop fruits. Some varieties of persimmons also alternate-bear when young, so every other season they'll drop most of their crop. You can't do anything about that except wait for the trees to become mature. All you can do is make sure your trees are adequately fed (but not overfed), mulch them well, make sure they're irrigated and just wait for them to grow up. All fruit trees self-thin to a degree, so some fruit drop is normal.

[@npm1421]

Can it grow in snowing state? Can i grow in the 22" deep garden box?

[@Sanchez96d]

They grow down to zone 7b if I recall correctly. It occasionally snows in southeast nc. And up in Raleigh it snows quite a bit, and they produce loads. They were 7b from last time I recall and they’re colder than us down here on the coast. If not American persimmon are good, but it’s a struggle getting both male and female trees, as they’re not self fertile like the fuyu Asian persimmon

[@artgarcia2340]

Ever thought of growing guavas? If you can grow avocado, you can grow guava.

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

It's much too cold here for guavas. Mexican avocados can survive into the teens, so that's why I can grow a Mexican avocado tree. Guava's are much less hardy, and it would be far too much work for me to protect something I'm not crazy about. If it can't survive 20 degrees unprotected, I can't grow it here.

[@raycannon2341]

@2MinuteGardenTips where are you located (agriculture zone?)

[@wsmaga]

What if you live in a 12zone hawaii that doesn’t have winters like the mainland does. Can you still prune your persimmon tree in winter.

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

In a tropical location, you will prune your persimmon immediately after harvest. That gives the tree maximum time to recover and leaf back out before flowering time. I'm not sure how well a persimmon will grow in Hawaii, since persimmons have a low requirement for chill. I'd be interested to hear if they fruit there.

[@wsmaga]

@@2MinuteGardenTipsthanks for your reply. My friend grows persimmons on the Big Island, so I’ll hoping I can grow them were I live. I’m buying the ichi ki kei jiro tree because of you, thanks 🤙🏾.

[@heronthere]

Have you heard of japanese totally debarking their persimmons trees every year? I can find the link but was hoping for your comments on your other channel when you covered persimmons.

[@MrGalanolefkos]

My persimmon tree is dropping all it's flowers. Flower started transforming but I am losing all of them. They are dropping. It is a younger tree so not sure if that's the case.

[@josephjude1290]

How are yo

[@bichunmu]

Hello, I am Korean. Do you still have persimmon trees? When are you going to harvest persimmons if you grow them, and how are you going to eat them? I'm curious to hear that Americans don't eat persimmons.

[@AncientHippie]

I have 5 varieties both astringent and non-astringent Hint; find many family & neighbors that like them too.

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

The only people that don't like persimmons are people that have never tried them. I can't imagine anyone not liking a ripe persimmon.

[@51rwyatt]

Does anyone know if American persimmon trees also grow fruit from new wood? I would think they would just like Asian persimmons, but you never know.

[@marial.hidalgo8765]

My persimmon is 3 inches tall, has 2 leaves - what does it need? It's been raining constantly every day.

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

It needs time. It takes most new seedlings 1-2 years to establish in ground. Most trees will not grow significantly vertically until the third year. "First year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap."

[@marial.hidalgo8765]

@@2MinuteGardenTips Thank you for clarifying. My plant has only 2 leaves plus it has constantly been raining - I'm worried too much rain it dies.

[@salba32]

Why does my persimmon tree's leave start to curl?

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

It could be for a whole host of reasons. They could be over-watered, they could be under-watered, it could be a natural reaction because your sun is too strong and they're curling their leaves to reduce surface area and shade themselves, it could be because insects are living inside the curls, it could be a fungal disease, etc. You'd have to inspect things more closely.

[@gramps5157]

How do you know you bought a female tree that will bear fruit?

[@Albemarle7]

Do squirrels eat persimmons?

[@2MinuteGardenTips]

I'm sure squirrels will eat any fruit if they're hungry enough, thirsty enough and your tree is unprotected.
