Harvested some seeds from Persimmons last fall from an area I hunt well south of home. Followed some instructions I found on line to put them up thru the winter then planted this spring.
Pleased to say I have about 30 nice 8" tall seedlings popped up in my garden. Plan is to baby them for a year or two, then plant them on the farm (in deer / rabbit proof cages) and see if I can get them going.
They don't grow around me, on the northern edge of their climate zone. Will be fun to see if I can get them going.
