I guess you all don't know about the most common varieties in Spain. Here a system to eliminate the tanines from the astringent "Rojo Brillante" variety lead to a massive expansion on persimmon popularity. Now i have a astringent and a non astringent trees. The way to eliminate the tanines is to take the fruit when is orange, still firm, and put them in a container with a little liquor. You wait for 5-7 days and the fruit is sweet. Check some videos from Spain and try. Nice video by the way.

Persimmon Whip Recipe - I would like to share my persimmon whip recipe, which is absolutely delicious. 2 or 3 ripe persimmons, 1 mug of heavy whipping cream, 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon each of organic maple syrup and honey. Put in nutribullet or blender. Then you spoon out into desert dishes, sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and or brown sugar. My friends persimmon tree has ones just like in this video. They used to grow wild around here, Maryland's Eastern Shorehard to find now. I highly recomend you try a persimmon in your life. I hope you all have a fabulous day.

I have grown an astringent persimmon tree since 1997, the January season from a Lebanese mountains fruit trees nursery . What a tree; I would love to send you some photographs from Beit Chabab, my village. The tree is so productive and I'm pruning it this coming week, any sunny days as this week is mostly sunny.

I have a Fuyu in the backyard 😁 I also have 2 pears, 2 figs, a peach, 2 paw paws, and 4 hazel nut bushes. I'm kinda fruit tree crazy. My neighbor ended up getting a peach and 2 apple trees as a result-LOL. I thought about getting apple trees but everyone who plants fruit trees around here goes for apples. They are a dime a dozen. I have a rule. I don't plant anything in my yard that doesn't produce an edible product. I have honey berry bushes and thornless blackberries as well. Thornless blackberries and strawberries are great for beginners BTW. They are super easy to grow. They are early heavy producers as well. Blackberries require aggressive pruning sometimes to keep within bounds though. They go crazy once established just like the wild ones. I get gallons of them every year. The blackberries distract the birds from my fruit trees as a bonus.

I have a five-year-old non-astringent Fuyu persimmon tree. The fruit is great! I usually eat them when they are firm or when they just start to feel a little soft. My one tree gives me well over 100 fruit. This is a really easy tree to grow and mostly needs no care. I usually put some cow manure around the base of the tree in the Spring and that's all I do.

Good morning! I don’t know how I missed this video a year ago, but it came up on my feed and I want to thank you for the bottom of my heart because it’s really hard to find a really good video for persimmons. I love your videos. I thought it was a new video at first, and I’m like what is his wedding ring 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am an experienced gardener, decades, in fact, but I aways find that other gardeners have useful, interesting information to offer, no matter the length of their experience. Even total beginners teach me things through their questions. I have been learning new things about figs, and now persimmons, on your channel. Well done!

I was introduced to persimmons when an exchange student in Japan 50 years ago, and I was totally fascinated. Growing up in high, dry, cold, short-season Northern New Mexico, I had no idea such things existed - almost impossibly exotic looking orange lanterns hanging from the dark, bare branches. As a point of possible interest, I recall bright orange persimmons strung to dry under the eaves of many Japanese farmhouses. Dried persimmons are really delicious. Those hung-to-dry persimmons may have been the cultivar 'Saijo', though that is just a guess.

Persimmons grow really well here in Richmond, Virginia, and I regularly recommend them (mostly 'Ichi Ki Kei Jiro') to clients.
Thanks again for your work.

Just finished drying 10lbs of fuyu persimmon, 2 trees, some very ripe, some still firm. Consistent producers in Austin, Texas.🤗😋

[ScaleSpeedworks]

My persimmon took 4 years to fully set fruit in zone 9b California. Well worth the wait! 👍

Some of the best content on YouTube this channel right here

There's a lot of people with persimmons here in Jacksonville, NC. The Starbucks in Jacksonville has an American persimmon next to their parking lot.

I moved into my current house out in the backwoods of SC in 2017, and I have about 3 wild American persimmon trees that are growing in my yard, I didn't know what they were before posting to a local native plant ID group, they appear to have a black fungus or spots on the leaves, everyone says that's normal, I don't know how they got here, all I see around is pine and oak. Maybe the seeds were dormant in the ground for years? I know the people that have lived here before me for the last 20 years and they had no idea. It's just crazy, I guess nature finds a way to keep going. I'm excited to see them grow. I thought it was a Paw Paw at first because the leaves look almost identical to me. I planted 2 paw paws so we will see. I'm so excited and if I keep going and keep things alive, I can't wait to see what this place looks like in 10 years.

Dude, in preparation for planting my kaki Fuyu I watched every video I could find on youtube and yours is BY FAR the best video in every way: video and audio quality, articulateness, lack of jerky camera, excellent information fed in a steady manner, etc. etc. etc.

I'm in zone 7, the Central Highlands of Arizona and I'm hoping for the best as I grew up in Los Angeles with an astringent which bore copious fruit every single year...

[AnnPham]

I just ordered a non-astringent Ichi Ki Kei Jiro persimmon from Plant Me Green. Thank you for the information and inspiration, I sooo excited now and can't wait to plant. 🙂

[pt]

WOW ! That was a lot of research. Thank you so very much for a remarkably well presented video.
I appreciate it.

[shaguftakhatri]

I love the non-astringent Fuyu ones from stores.
I want to grow this tree, you read our minds and made this video! I’ll be acquiring one tree atleast.

[cormacsage]

Love this fall winter passion fruit ever since I started eating a year ago

[suzannebertussi]

Grew up eating persimmons in Utah. Absolutely delicious. Just bought 2 tree and plan to plant them this weekend.

[truthbetold]

Persimmon is jello candy that hangs gorgeous on the tree in the snow!! I'm waiting my American persimmon to grow large enough to take a graft.
