Greenhouse is equivalent to zone 9. Lots of these woke up 5-weeks ago or more. Nighttime temps in my greenhouse keep them from growing. My nighttime temps are 34-37 weather dependent.
Looking good Dax! This 80 degrees one day and 10 degrees the next has made it pretty tough around here. Hopefully it gets it all out before apricots start blooming.
I’d rather send grafting wood!
What a hassle! Seriously, I’d have to pay 200$ just to have a nursery inspector for 2-hours, and then it’s crazy like 200$ for another 4-hours or something. It’s impossible for small time people.
So not worth it, what a hassle! Your collection is impressive though and not many are trying anything other than Fuyu (Jiro) - 90% or Hachiya - 10% around here. I wonder how Missouri dept of conservation sends rootstocks here without issues - may be there is a provision for university affiliated organizations. Anyway, I got some D.V rootstocks planted and potted. Will get some scions from you next season.
Persimmons woke up at different times. I said something in a pm to a friend that I suspected this and the reason is the scions all came from different places so they need time to learn their new climate(s)… the deal is it really takes a couple of years I’ve noticed watching things inside greenhouses where perfect climates exist
