Elwyn sent me three root cuttings of "Meader" persimmon one time. The idea being that persimmons are fairly prone to sucker, so we figured that root pieces would sprout shoots fairly easily. Three isn't exactly a good sample, though I wasn't able to get any to sprout.

In one of Elwyn Meader's exchanges with another nursery which he sent plants to,
root cuttings were the method the nursery was intending to use, maybe by
layering? These are root cuttings, not rooted greenwoods I am speaking of.
Root-grafting, since it seems grafting is acceptable to persimmons, might be a
way to get own-root behavior? Or are their roots so tender to handling this would
be discouraged?
