@lisamariaweiss Another one to consider is Inchon if you are looking for a smaller tree. It is relatively dwarf and has a bit of a weeping attitude to its branches, so might work well for your needs.

I have scoured nursuries for Sung hui but in California it seems like I only see Hachiya, Saijo, fruitcake, etc. Is it a tree only available on the east coast? I even had a hard time finding it online anywhere?

I’m not sure who currently sells trees of it. I think mine originally came from Edible Landscaping.

I am also in zone 6b and very interested in container-growing persimmons. I have two Nikita’s Gifts and an Elmo planted in-ground but was told by the nursery not even to attempt to grow persimmons in containers because they would never yield fruit. How has everyone’s experience been with container persimmons? Also, are there certain places that are better to purchase from?

Persimmons will certainly fruit ok in a pot. But they will do much better in ground.
