Frequently Asked Questions

Where do persimmon trees grow best?

Persimmon trees grow best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. They thrive in warm climates and open spaces where they get plenty of light and air circulation. With the right spot, they produce sweet, flavorful fruit and beautiful fall color.
How fast does a persimmon tree grow?

Persimmon trees grow at a moderate rate, adding about 1 to 2 feet of height each year. As they mature, they develop strong trunks and glossy green leaves. With good care and sunlight, they become productive and attractive landscape trees.
Do you need two persimmon trees to get fruit?

Most persimmon varieties are self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit. However, planting two different varieties can increase yield and improve pollination. Either way, they’re easy to grow and reward you with delicious, sweet fruit each season.

Red Maple

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
