I have had the same thing happen to me.  An Ecos persimmon (about a foot in height) I picked up from Oikos Tree Crops this past spring has just leafed out within the last week.  From what I could see, it had passed on.  Luckily, I hadn't gotten around to pulling it.  The late leafing is a little perplexing.  All other persimmons had been leafed out for at least a month or better. Jim in Green Bay zone 4b/5a.

Subject: [NAFEX] persimmon trees leafing out NOW

ok-is this unusual?  I transplanted 3 seedling persimmon trees last fall-one sprouted this spring and I gave the others up for dead.  But now, June 23rd, the other two are leafing out like it's April.  Has anyone else had this happen before, or am I just new to this strange tree?  Jerry in southern Indiana
