    A persimmon tree usually bears fruit 3-4 years after it's planted in its permanent location. If yours is older than this and not producing, see this article:

    I would also encourage you to contact your local County Extension Office. They are a valuable source of information on your local environment and what diseases may be effecting your trees.

    That is frustrating to lose trees over the winter months, or really any time we lose our trees that we labor over!

    There is never any guarantee if or when you would have any fruit from the root stock.

    If they do, it may not be a flavorful fruit or even the same type of fruit, as they use root stock that is hardy and not generally a fruit that is known for flavor.

    Check with your local County Extension Office for a list of trees that are known to do well in your particular region.

    I try to remind myself that a loss in the garden makes for new opportunities.
