How to Grow a Healthy Persimmon Tree in Your Garden
The Persimmon Tree is an excellent plant to grow, both for its aesthetic value and for its delicious fruit. Early American settlers and Native Americans valued it for its hardy nature. It can survive low winter temperatures, the American variety as low as unfavorable twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit, and the fruit continues to hang on to the tree well into the winter months.
Top Care Tips for Persimmon Trees: Ensure Optimal Growth
The tree itself is beautiful. It has oblong, dark green leaves that turn nicely orange in autumn. The dark bark forms square blocks resembling a crocodile's skin. The fruit is bright orange with smooth skin. It has soft flesh and, when ripe, is sweet and similar to an apricot in taste. Wood from the tree is both decorative and resilient.
The Persimmon tree is particular about planting. It is native to much of the United States, spanning from Florida West to Texas and as far North as Connecticut. It can be grown, however, anywhere between growing zones four and nine. It is like well-drained soil that is slightly acidic between six points five and seven points five. Digging deep when planting them is essential to compensate for their deep taproots. They like to be placed in full sunlight.
Why Persimmon Trees Are a Must-Have for Your Backyard Orchard
It is essential to be aware that there are two varieties of Persimmon Trees, American and Asian. The Asian tree is a little bit less resilient, only withstanding winter temperatures as low as zero degrees Fahrenheit. The Asian does, however, have its advantage. While an American variety must have both a male and female tree present to produce fruit, the Asian variety is able to bear fruit on its own. Once planted, both varieties are low maintenance after they have been established. They need plenty of water and may need to be manually watered in dry weather, but they need nearly no pruning when healthy.
