Hi and thank you for your inquiry. Our plants and trees are zoned according to studies and hardiness determined by the USDA. We also graft our trees and so depending on rootstock used this also can determine the hardiness of your plant/tree.
The Hachiya Persimmon is an astringent, semi-self pollinating, deciduous tree that produces sweet, seedless (or near-seedless) fruit.
The spots are harmless, related to weather and only skin-deep. They don't penetrate the flesh and will not affect the cooking or eating quality of the fruit.
To the best of my knoweldge no this is not a typo.
It depends on how close you are to the crop dusting. Is it a few feet or a mile or more? If it's a mile or more, you don't have to do anything. If it's closer, then contact your local agricultural extension agent and ask. They'll answer all your questions. If it were me, I'd ask the extension agent anyway.
Hi William, This is a really good question. The weather has started to change here in MO and our trees and plants are getting ready to start dropping their leaves to go dormant. Because of this, you should be able to safely plant now.
Please keep the below conditions in mind when deciding if now is the best time to plant.
1) when the ground is not frozen, 2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF, and 3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us, remember that we're here for you. Have a great day!
The Hachiya Persimmon is Astringent until fully soft ripe.
