There is a "hybrid" persimmon that produces in a couple years. Only gets about 15' tall....you might do some research on those.

Anyone know cost per tree?  Since our farm was just logged it might be a good time to put out some tree's. |

Link for Stark Bros. : www.starkbros.com/products/trees/exotic-and-specialty-fruit/yates-american-persimmonI've got one of theirs in my yard along with a couple that I got from what used to be Woody's Nursery east of Crawfordsville...I'll have to look for a link for the last one-I think they might have changed hands since then (they grew a lot native trees in pots). Here's link for Woody's: www.woodywarehouse.com/index.htmlhowever I'm not seeing any listed on their website-you might contact them and ask...I don't remember them having everything on their website that they actually had in inventory when I was there. |

So would you recommed spring planting over fall due to rainfall. I don't want to waste my time and plant then have die. Also i'm guessing should protect them with sleeve or fence around so deer don't browse on them.

So would you recommed spring planting over fall due to rainfall. I don't want to waste my time and plant then have die. Also i'm guessing should protect them with sleeve or fence around so deer don't browse on them. If you get them shipped to you then the decision will be made on when they are shipped. The one I got from Stark Bros last year was shipped in the fall but arrived at about the same time that early winter hit here last fall so it didn't actually get planted until early this spring and is doing well. Usually planting most trees in fall will work well as long as you water them well at the time of planting so that the roots are in contact with soil all around-and then keep it watered if precipitation is lacking until the ground freezes. "Spring dig only" trees include redbuds, dogwoods, tulip poplar and some of the oaks, just to name a few. Reputable tree nurseries will only dig tree species at the proper time since they want to give their trees the best chance to survive. Using 2"-3" of mulch over the soil that you covered the roots with will keep the frost heave to a minimum. DO NOT pile mulch up against the tree or trunk- I can't stress this enough- DO NOT put mulch against the tree!!!!!!! If you put mulch against the tree bark or trunk all you are doing is allowing every insect/fungus/nasty thing that wants to eat/chew/bore into that new expensive tree the perfect place to hide while having all the time it needs to accomplish it's dastardly mission. "Volcano" mounds of mulch around trees will eventually be the early death-it may take 20 years, but that is early in the life of a tree! Got any other questions about planting trees? Just Google "trees are good" and you will have everything you need to know about planting and mulching tree root zones. Here's the link in case Google isn't working: www.treesaregood.com/ click on the "New Tree Planting" area and presto! |
