WOW. That is incredible. Is the Rich Tooie on its own roots or is it a graft?

@ansayre … on its own roots.
It is a wild dv here in southern TN… some have said it may be a 90c persimmon instead of a 60c.
Where my sisters home is… it used to be a cow pasture… and they built a subdivision there 30 years ago… these wild dv are in a full sun location on her yard and i expect they were just wild trees origionally in that pasture.
She has two in her yard and one more behind her garage they are nice mature trees that produce loads of delicious fruit.
I grafted scions of rich tooie onto some of my wild dv rootstock here this spring. Hopefully in a few years… . I have some here.
Rich Tooie is a nice sized persimmon for a wild here…larger than average.
I will collect some scionwood late January and will have that for trade if anyone is interested.
I am going to graft one more here at my place…

Those trees have some age on them. They are super good because of the full sun. How much seed do they have in them?

@Robert … they average 5-7 seeds per fruit.
I have supplied several hundred to others on the board that asked… in trades.
The first person i traded with asked that they be shipped fresh in pulp. Research had led him to believe you get better germination with fresh seeds vs dried.
I saved the seeds from the fruit i ate last night in pulp in a ziplock bag in the fridge… just in case someone wanted them.
I will have to check my trade list… think i have already promised some to someone.

Second trip to my sisters today for more rich tooie persimmons.
Got a big bowl full of these…
Man that tree is loaded… and several dropped while I was there… but many are still quite firm and have a way to go before ripe.
This is what they look like just before I eat them.
If anyone else needs seeds… I should have a few hundred over the next week. Would like to trade seeds for H63A or Journey Hybrid scion… Pristine apple or clarks crab scion… AU cherry plum scion… any of those.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you still have those persimmon seeds?
Would you trade for a scions of the jujube tree (Lee or Lang)?
Thank you.

I had one person ask for rich tooie seeds this fall and I sent those to him Oct 22.
I can normally supply seed when the fruit is ripening… mid Sept to early Nov.
Several asked for scion wood and I have worked out trades for all the scion wood that is available.

Send me please list of your plants - maybe we can trade…
You might have better luck making a post in the trading post section of the forum. More people will see it there.
@adammar … Rich Tooie is a shy bearer of good scionwood.
I was able to collect 6 scions from it this winter and had trades arranged on those back in December or earlier.
I have 3 people in line for scion wood next winter.
I will check the tree out good in October, or early November and get an estimate of scionwood available.
I normally collect scion in January or early February.
If you want to get in line for possible scionwood next winter … let me know. I can put you down as 4th person requesting scion.
I will not know until October or November next year exactly how many scions are available.
Sorry but southern persimmons dont produce nice thick limb tip wood like northern persimmons do. The majority of the limb tip wood is very thin.
I normally only find good scionwood on it in places where a limb has broken or been cut off by an insect. It produces some thicker scion in places like that.
Thanks

Yes - definitely I wanna be on the waiting list.
Please put me down.
Thank you.
TN Hunter, on some of my mature local ‘wild’ natives, I’ve had to prune limbs back HARD to get them to throw out vigorous shoots that will work for scionwood.
I’m needing to do that with some of my grafted trees that are nearly 30 years old… they bear so heavily that without some pruning to foster ‘watersprout’ type vigorous growth, it’s hard to find decent shoots that can function as good scions.

@Lucky_P … that is the problem with Rich Tooie exactly… limb growth that terminates normally is just very thin… 1/8 inch or less.
But in places that there has been limb damage (those insects that cut a trench all the way around a limb) and it breaks off… or just a limb that broke from storm damage…
It will grow some nice sprouts there with good diameter.
I have a pole saw/pruner… and now you have given me a great idea how to help the problem.
Thanks a lot Lucky !
Also… appreciate those nice trailman scions.
