Persimmons in Maine

A nice haul from the Meader tree this year, it is loosing branches and a big limb due to crop load, winds, and now, maybe coons.

Some pretty ones


All are seedless

Last but not least, here’s one I picked from the seedling tree in my yard, with a Meader for scale, seedling fruit is on the right. They are almost ripe now, maybe as the 8’ tree matures the size will increase and ripen earlier (hoping). Just about the cutest little things, these have an elongated shape.

All my grafted trees put on very nice growth this year, ones in the nursery row will be a challenge to dig as some are over 1" caliper at the base.
