I Have Had Persimmon Trees And Every Year We Have Plenty Of Persimmons This Year None Is There A Reason

Question

Have lived here over 40 years we have persimmons every year except this year

Answer 1

Did your location have a late frost this year? Your persimmon trees may have been nipped by frost. Another possibility is that the trees bore abundantly last year. Persimmon trees can do what is called alternate bearing - overabundance one year and little to none the next year.

Often this kind of occurrence is weather related, such as a drought, and the tree produces normally the next year. Be sure to provide adequate water and nutrition to help the tree.
