Can I plant a fuyu persimmon tree in northern Virginia, Zone 7 ?
They are only hardy down to zone 8, so I fear that it would die, or not get big enough to ever fruit if you were to plant it outside.
I am concerned about the Juglone put out by the Black Walnut. Please advise. I am interested in a fruit bearing Persimmon, and I hear they are native to where I live. thanks gabriel 267 922 3548
The roots of the black walnut leak this toxic chemical into the soil, where plants sensitive to juglone may absorb the toxin. The best defense against black walnut toxicity is to avoid planting gardens and orchards near black walnut trees. If space is an issue, creating raised garden beds may protect plants from juglone toxins.
Will the seed germinate from saved / stored seeds from fruit eaten last fall? Best method to start greenhouse pot/ prepared soil at permanent site?

My persimmon tree is 7 years old and has never borne fruit. How do I know if it's a male or female tree, and whether I need to plant a second tree?

I planted this persimmon tree a few years ago that was supposed to be self fertilizing. Last year it started having flowers and they all fell off. No fruits formed. This year there are tons of flowers on the tree. Again they're all falling off. I've seen them getting pollinated by several bees. Why aren't any fruits forming? This year i saw 2 new trees starting to come up. I'd never planted them. I'm letting them grow. Do you think they'll help? I thought this was self fertilizing. Any ideas why the flowers fall off but no fruit?

This is my 2nd attempt to grow this this type of tree. It is my favorite fruit to eat . Please help me save it. Its been in the ground since early summer. It was in shock. But some leafs are brown and dry while others are half brown/dry and half green. The soil is clay. I was careful to dig a deep hole and mix plenty of potty soil with my dirt. Thanks for any ideas to save my tree.
Clay soil is not usually well-draining, but the potting soil should help. Compost or well-rotted manure is actually better to loosen the soil. You can still add that to the top of your soil. They also prefer slightly acidic soil so you may need to fertilize with an acid fertilizer in spring. Your tree may not be getting enough water. Young trees need frequent water to establish a deep root system and once a week thereafter. During periods of drought, supply additional irrigation.
Hope that helps!

have one kaki tree. It's three years old. I worry that it has a lot of low branches and are affecting its growth.
The tree needs little pruning. In spring, prune out dead or damaged wood, fragile branches and those turning inward (to open up the center). If there are a lot of low branches, you can prune for clearance.
