First few seconds of the video & I immediately think I’m home. I love the way you garden.

Now. I need this tree. It's small enough that my husband won't know it's a tree until it's too late. And prolific enough to be a sugar substitute in much of my baking.

100%. I have one of these as a corner-foundation tree. My leader also broke off (don't know how) so it now has a multi stem appearance.

Is there any way to get one of these in California?

I am always looking for dwarf varieties for my smallish garden...Information was greatly appreciated.

There’s a weeping American persimmon that’s extremely columnar, so it takes up a lot less space. Have you ever seen one of those in person? I haven’t but I’m interested in it.

So exciting! I can't wait to try one of these. I think mine is going to fruit this year! 🤗

The tastiest persimmon is the cheongdo persimmon. Basically everyone in Korea prefers that one, especially for eating as ice cream

I am going to look for one of these varieties in New Zealand. Thanks!

I am new to your channel and LOVE it. I can't find the video you were going to show on harvesting this tree. Were you not able to get to it or am I not looking correctly? Thank you for letting me know and thank you for posting this video!!

I bought this tree for zone 6A. I’m hoping it does well and survives.

I did it too, let's keep our fingers crossed!

I love in zone 5. I just found one place where it is a reasonable price and shipping is good too but it says zone 6 hardiness. So who to believe?

Very well done! Thank you. How much sun does your Nikita's Gift actually get in mid-summer?

@ParkrosePermaculture

Full sun! 8 hours.

How long after you bought it did it starting bearing fruit?

can this be planted in a pot and how long before it bears fruit ?

Did you do the Nov (harvest) video for this persimmon?

Thanks for the info. How many years till it fruits?

After looking at your leaves Im starting to wonder if im actually growing a Nikitas gift or not. Ive been growing my tree for about 4 years it hasn't set fruit yet and its now about 8 foot tall. My leaves get a lot bigger than yours and don't seem as glossy its in full sun maybe that plays a part? It did have one fruit last year but fell off.

Nikita's gift is good but really ripens late.

persimmons have a pretty deep taproot, right?

The tree leaves seem to be curling? Is that a condition or....?

It’s normal for them to be cupped like that on the edges. :)

what about Japanese beetles?

Nikitas Gift is a hybrid between an american and asian persimmon so bigger than an asian persimmon smaller than an american one.... if you need small persimmon trees go for asian ones!

It is a hybrid but it is not a large tree. This is grafted onto dwarfing rootstock.

the hardest part is waiting for it to fruit

Would you consider selling your property?

You are giving way too much contradictory information. You mention that you have a policy of no water for your fruit trees but you admit that you water them with a 5 gallon bucket of water once a week. It would be a lot more helpful if you mentioned how much water the tree needs. Maybe you are in a rainy area. Most fruit trees need water when they are younger and may need to be watered in the summer during dry spells. Then you say you it is a semi-astringent but if you eat it when it is hard it is like eating an unripe apple and will such out all the moisture out of your mouth. How is that different that Hachiya - astringent persimmon? You need to explain that better. Plus you were non-committal on the thinning of the fruit on a young tree.

I didn’t contradict myself at all, Todd. I water young trees with a five gallon bucket, otherwise I don’t water at all. That’s not contradictory at all. I am in a rainy area - I live in the Pacific Northwest. I mention that in every video.

The differences between a semi-astringent and astringent persimmon are easy to look up if you don’t understand. Semi-astringent persimmons don’t have to be left to soften as much before they’re edible.

So what if I’m Non-commital on thinning a young persimmon? Both options have benefits and negatives. Is there some way I can help you? Is there something you’re looking for?

@@ParkrosePermaculture I apologize if you didn’t feel my criticism was constructive. I watched the video again and I didn’t hear any mention of you saying you lived in the Pacific Northwest. I apologize if I missed it. I understand that new trees, depending upon the climate and amount of rain, need to be watered. I was a little confused by your wording when you said you had a strict policy of no watering, but after I listened to it a second time, I understood what you meant. I was curious, once established, the amount of water they need, whether from rain or hand watered. I was confused by your term semi-astringent persimmon. I personally have Giant Fuyu, Hachiya, and Jiro so I am familiar with both terms. I have never heard the term semi-astringent before and every web page I found for the Nikita referred to it as astringent. I have always been under the impression there are only two types of persimmon - astringent and non-astringent. Your description, in my opinion, matches astringent varieties. Concerning thinning of the fruit, I was hoping you were going to state your opinion. I was simply stating the fact that you were non-committal. Finally, I suspect it grows outside the zones you mention. I am in zone 10/11 and my persimmons do great even though many web pages say that I am outside the growing zone. I was trying to ascertain if this variety required some sort of chilling hours. Once again, I apologize if I offended you in any way.
