Diospyros virginiana

#americanpersimmon #hybrid Lehman's Delight was a little late waking up but is now exploding up new growth. 5 June 2024 #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown #native #edible #ediblelandscaping #byfg

This is an #americanpersimmon #seedling that spent its first year in a 500 ml water bottle, so it's a little crooked. #ifitwantstoliveitllfight 16 May 2024 #diospyrosvirginiana #gyo #plantsfromfriends #treesfromseeds #edible #ediblelandscaping

Lehman's Delight has deigned to make an appearance. 16 May 2024 #americanpersimmon #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown #native #nativeplant #edible #ediblelandscaping #plantsfromfriends

My grandma had one of those. She used to make cookies and bread that was delicious. 👍

#grafted #americanpersimmon Lehman's Delight is maybe also waking up from winter. 8 May 2024 #graftyourown #edible

The trunk of my #americanpersimmon has these fuzzy white bugs on it. On the left is how I found it. On the right is after zapping them with neem. Anybody know what these are? Some kind of scale? 6 Sep 2023 #pest #pest-id #bug-id #bug #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown

They look like mealy bugs to me. Neem should take them out they are soft bodied.

Mealy bugs or cottony cushion scale. Either one is bad news

The #americanpersimmon #graft is still growing strong. 6 Sep 2023 #diospyrosvirginiana #graftyourown #native

I've heard that #americanpersimmon are hard to #graft but my first and only one worked! This is two shots of the same plant. 17 Aug 2023 #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown

#newgrowth on the #grafted #americanpersimmon is coming along nicely. The rootstock was a gift and so was the scion wood. 31 July 2023 #diospyrosvirginiana #persimmon #graftyourown #plantsfromfriends

Not very big, but definitely above the graft union. (I did have to pull off some rootstock growth from below the graft.) 23 July 2023 #americanpersimmon #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown

The #grafted #americanpersimmon is pushing out some #newgrowth above the graft union, yay! 23 July 2023 #diospyrosvirginiana #graftyourown

I used to do grafting and budding as a living. Always great when you see things take and grow away. 😊

I should have taken a photo before chipping its head off. Oh well. And I just found out this 100-46 variety is also called "Lehman's Delight" 11 July 2023 #americanpersimmon #diospyrosvirginiana #grafted #graftyourown

We have lots of persimmon trees here in Missouri. They grow wild out in the woods. I love the taste ot them!

My #americanpersimmon #seedling is waking up. I got some scion wood at the #backyardfruitgrowers and I'm gonna try grafting it in a few weeks! 22 Apr 2023

A fellow backyard fruit grower sprouted too many plants to fit in his backyard, so he offered some to me -- this is another #americanpersimmon #seedling 8 Aug 2022 #diospyrosvirginiana #native #freeplants #plantsfromfriends

#americanpersimmon #seedlings are plugging away. Their sidekick is another new #pawpaw #seedling 5 Aug 2022 #diospyrosvirginiana #treesfromseeds #nativetree #native

The two #americanpersimmon #seedlings are coming right along 1 Aug 2022 #native #treesfromseeds #nativetree #diospyrosvirginiana

Persimmon leaves on their second tier 9 July 2022 #americanpersimmon #diospyrosvirginiana #seedlings #treesfromseeds #nativetree #gyo

Each one has a new leaf since I repotted them last weekend. 30 June 2022 #americanpersimmon #diospyrosvirginiana #seedling #treesfromseeds #nativetree #ediblelandscaping #gyo

I let my baby #americanpersimmon #seedlings get a wee bit #sunburnt so moved them into full shade for a few days in hiopes they'll recover. #alwayslearning even PLANTS need protection from the sun 28 June 2022 #diospyrosvirginiana #treesfromseeds #nativetree #gyo #gyo-tree

Repotted these #americanpersimmon #seedlings into 2.5" x 8" treepots to give their roots somewhere to go. 25 June 2022 #diospyrosvirginiana #treesfromseeds #nativetree #gyo

The guy who have me some of his extra pawpaw seeds also gave me two #americanpersimmon #seedlings! I'm over the moon! I was going to have to wait until October to get some fruits, but now I'm a year closer to persimmons! 25 June 2022 #diospyrosvirginiana
