Your advise to never eat a persimmon is, based on my 19 years of persimmon 
growing and breeding experience with the 90 C American persimmon, ill advised

Jerry,
Might I tap into your 19 yrs. of experience. We have two Meader trees, one 
fruited this past year and was excellent. First, should we prune a Persimmon 
as any other fruit tree, cut off low branches, branches growing inward, etc. 
? When is the best time to prune. What other varieties should we try ? 
Nursery, or do you have trees available ? We were told about Nolin but have 
not gotten a call through, I am not sure if they were in the Ice Storm.
Thank you, Anthony Nth. IL. z4b
