I’m no expert by any means, but what little pruning I’ve done of my kaki has been done in spring.  I will likely have to prune again this spring as I need to head back a branch which is growing straight toward the sidewalk (at a height of about 4 feet).

 

I wouldn’t want to risk leaving an unhealed opening over the winter.  But I will admit my experience with Kaki is probably less than your own Bass.

I was hoping to get some help with Pruning persimmon. Any ideas if they can be pruned in the fall?


Thanks,

I understand that Prunning persimmon trees is not a common practice. However when planted in a limited space it's required. I have an American as well as some Kaki persimmons that require some prunning to keep the size down, and to give the tree a better look. When is the best time to Prune a Persimmon tree? is fall okay? or should I wait to late winter?
Thanks,
