Diane   I am in SW Iowa, zone 5.  I have good luck with Early Golden.  Once
I planted a male persimmon for cross pollination I received annual crops.
They didn't mature as well this summer because of the cool temps, but I had
a large crop.  It usually bears every year.  My tree is over 25 years of age
and is about 35 feet tall.   Judson L. Frisk

You all have inspied me. This is the year to plant a persimmon in my  
s. Iowa zone 5 homestead.

With deer protection, of couse.

Is Raintree Nursery the place to look for a Meander persimmon tree?
