Such a fresh and organic harvest

We have been planting persimmons - both Asian and American varieties - in the new orchard gardens around our farm. They are just tiny guys now, and it will be a while before we see any fruit. So, for the next several years, we will simply enjoy their beauty (and they are quite beautiful little trees!). Looking forward to the days when we have wonderful harvests like yours!

They’re such a gorgeous tree!!

I love the little farm-stand updates! :)

I tried my first persimmon about four years ago. It's now one of my favorite fruits. I've been buying a box full yearly from a no spray grower in my area. Love 'em and they dehydrate really well too, for preserving.

Thank you so much.

Hello Angela, I have never eaten a persimmon, they look delicious, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us I truly appreciate it.

I have never had a persimmon, live in zone 5, but they look beautiful! What a blessed community around you to have your farmstand.

God bless you! I have been searching and searching for how to tell when mine are ripe!! I planted the tree last year and I have six beautiful fruits right now!

Thank you for the comprehensive info.

I so appreciate the knowledge you are sharing! I am in northwest Washington State and am slowly planting my own food forest.

Major suggestion, build an expandable Greenhouse and start growing some citrus fruit inside

Last year I got about 100+ fruits but this year I got so little. Thanks for the video, now I know why I got so little this year.

It might help not to prune it

Blessings to all!

I'll be by today for some persimmons and quince!

I currently have 2 fuyu persimmon trees growing here in MA zone 6b. This year one of my fruit finally bear 1 fruit 😂 It took A LOT of trials and my tree death to find the ideal variety and location, but it was all worth it.

That experience is a wonderful way to appreciate the tree, life, and the fruit.

I have a massive fuyu in my yard. This must be her big year because there are hundreds of fruit. It’s unbelievable. Thanks for video. I’m not sure when to pull them! -Southern California

Planted a Fuyu this year. Probably 3 or more years till first harvest but Looking forward to it.

I think you don’t have to wait 3 years, I planted two trees and one of them bear fruits just one year after I planted them.

FYI Stark Bros has varieties on Asian persimmons that can be grown in zone 6.

I would love to hear from folks who are growing them on how they actually do because I’ve heard that they can have die back in a cold winter. I have a hybrid Persimmon that is supposed to be Hardy to 6, but it is semi astringent

@@ParkrosePermaculture - well, I can't claim to have tried them yet, but I hope to get some this next spring... 🤷‍♀

Do you also grow Jiro Fuyu, which one is first to ripen

I don’t have a Jiro. If I had space I would have another variety or two for sure!

Thank you for the video. My persimmon tree has fruit for the first time this year. Yay....7 persimmons. LOL. My question is, do they ripen better on the tree or does it make any difference? I don't want my 7 to fall victims to wildlife.

Folks say they are tastier after the first frost, but once the squirrels and birds start pecking the ones high up at the tree I pick them all. They soften up quite nicely on the counter

"Victim"? It won't be long before you enjoy sharing your bounty with many of your widlife neighbors.

Maybe I missed it (I was listening while doing something else), but why were you harvesting them early?

Squirrels and birds.

Your persimmons look lovely. I have an American Persimmon, Meader. American Persimmons need a pollinater, and my male died. Until I can replace my male, no fruit. Males are hard to find. Many nurseries don't sell the males, only unsexed seedlings, or sell out very early. Still looking to replace him. I should have went with an Asian Persimmon in the first place, sigh...

This isn’t Tiktok, sweetie. Maybe a platform for a shorter attention span would suit you better?
