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. 👍

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

#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!

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

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
