I just wanted to take the time out to say THANKS once again for all you do for so many of us. I just planted out 6 chitted persimmon seeds. I tried storing them several different ways and the ones i kept in the fridge were the only ones that decided to grow. Good knowledge for future use as the seeds I tried to let stratify in ground did not work neither did traditionally saved seeds (Dried out in cupboard and in fridge) only the seeds in medium in the fridge made it.

Since I now have space for a persimmon tree to take the place of my pomegranate, timing couldn't be better and it makes me feel better about the loss of the fruit. Unfortunately it will be a good 3-5 years before I see any fruit, but at least it's a start!
