Sylvia, did you start that from seed? It's a beautiful tree.

Thank you Writersblock, I love my persimmon tree and no I did not started from seed but was transplanted as a bare root tree.

Thanks!

October is tree planting month. I always plant trees and shrubs in October and they always take.

Thank you, all for your valuable input.

Silvia - Your persimmon looks great. A friend of ours gave us some tree-ripe persimmon last week. We simply mixed plain yogurt, persimmon and ice in blender and yum smoothie came out.

Thank you journey, persimmons are one of my favorite fruits, the tastiest way for me to eat them are sun dried in my backyard, when they are done they don't last too long with me in the house.:)

Ohhh I bet that's yummy

the best time to move persimkon tree is when it is fully dormant and that would be Jan/feb. and as persimmons need to be pruned yearly, I would prune it in early feb and move to new location, and make sure it is staked and heavily mulched with minimum water until u see leaves

Best time to move any tree is when dormant, but in my experience, Persimmon seems to be a very resilient tree. At least the native persimmon is. I received one from a Tree-Giveaway a few years ago and had a hard time finding a place to plant it. I finally planted it in a spot, but after a few months, I knew it was in the wrong spot because of other plants in the area. Since I had no other locations for it, I simply cut it down. And it came back the next spring. So I cut it back again, dug into the soil and cut the trunk from the roots. Yesterday while looking over my beds, I saw the tell-tale leaves of a persimmon coming up in the same spot.
