Yates American Persimmon
Description
A sweet native of Indiana. This fast-growing variety is pest- and disease-resistant. When fruit is soft and completely mature, it features a sweet, apricot-like flavor. Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. Tree reaches 35-50' tall. Ripens in early September. Grafted. Self-pollinating.
Note: Our persimmon trees are grown in EZ Start® pots, which allow the roots to self-air prune and redirect energy to producing a dense mass of feeder roots. The main tap root will begin forming once planted in its permanent location, and will fully develop over the next 2-3 years.

year. About twenty at the most, but the deer found them right away. I did
purchase the most advance growth tree available at the time. I'm sure that helped.

My persimmons have grown well in 2 years and I am hoping to see a fruit or two this year. Plant where deer can't get them, if you live in an area of deer.
Good luck!!

Young persimmons can be picky about growing, but once established are very tough. In my experience, if a Stark Bro's tree won't grow, you can't grow that variety of tree. The only serious pest I have had is tent caterpillars, which seem to prefer persimmon trees above all else. They won't kill a tree but are ugly and can reduce the crop. I just pull their webs out, the low ones with my hands, the high ones with a long bamboo cane.

My review dosent include shipping or packaging as I ordered and picked these trees up at the nursery. They were well looked after and very healthy when I picked them up. Which I would think made for a good transplant.
I would recommend these trees and using Stark Bros.
