Persimmons 2024

Spent all weekend top working seedlings. Trying out some of England’s tips of grafting high to avoid deer damage and grafting hybrids low so, I can bury the trunk.


Noticed that I have what I think is Rosseyanka I budded 5 years ago. That seems odd because all my other Rosseyanka died over the winter. Maybe it’s an issue of wind chill or the wood not having hardened off before winter?


Most of my trees are recovering well from herbicide drift damage I posted about in 2-4D Drift, farmer doesn't care, ag officials protect him
But, I noticed my 3 Kasandra Trees are looking really bad. That was the only hybrid in the orchard that got hit. They are apparently especially sensitive to whatever 2-4-d cocktail they were hit with.
