Well my Shojatsu persimmon tree I asked about earlier this 
year (it was not budding out).  The scion part is definitively 
dead (brown & brittle).  But there's brand new growth from 
the rootstock.  We're having very warm temps right now, but 
our avg. killing frost date here is Oct 15th.  I was 
considering putting a cut off milk container over the growth 
to attempt to extend the season to give it time to harden off.

Any thoughts/comments?
