Could it be persimmon wilt?

19 years ago

I have a "Tamopan" persimmon (Diospyros kaki) that looked healthy last Friday. I had planted it last spring. It had four fruit on it. When I saw it two days later, the limbs were drooping and the leaves were shriveled. I broke all the limbs off of it Thursday and noticed a shoot coming from beneath the graft. Could this tree have persimmon wilt? There may be another persimmon I planted a few weeks ago with the same problem - drooping leaves and shoots from beneath the graft.

God bless,
