What’s the trunk caliper on your Great Wall persimmon? How many fruit do you expect this year? My Nikita is roughly the same size as when I planted it ~5/8" (it had some girdling by rabbits the first winter). It’s 2 years old and it has about 30 flowers. Would you recommend keeping any or should I pick off any that set fruit? I was planning on picking them all off and letting the tree focus on growing. But I’m also tempted to keep 1 or 2 around. Any suggestions when growing persimmon?
My GW the trunk is about 1 1/2 inches. I will let all the fruits hang on and see after all the fruits drop and I may decide to keep around 10. Your NG may drops all the fruits the first couple of years.
I hope you got takes on those fragrant pear seedlings I sent you because my stock died of fireblight this spring (an old blighted quince tree I topworked). I tried to move one of them over to another tree but I’m not sure I grabbed the wood soon enough.
