Looking for Persimmon tree

20 years ago

Folks I am looking for a nursery near me that would carry the Great Wall OR the Saijo persimmon tree. I need one that is good for drying the fruit and these sound really good from everything I have read. What is your favorite and where can I find it! The online sources are either sold out already or really expensive or do they normally run over $25? Thanks for any help finding it. By the way, I am in West Central Georgia near Columbus/Atlanta

Have you tried Edible Landscaping in Afton, Va.? They list both Saijo and Great Wall. I planted a Saijo in my yard about 8 years ago. Once established, is very prolific and does not need a pollenator. The fruit is very sweet and my yields are now more than I can handle. Never tried drying -- I leave the excess for the squirrels & birds. No care other than keep it watered first 2 years or so in summer. Bought it at Hastings in ATL.
