Do deer eat persimmon trees? I've got about 6 real nice small trees. We have heavy deer pressure. To my surprise, it appears they have not touched the leaves on the sprouts, which are about 4 feet tall. I know they love the fruit. But it appears, from my experience, that they do not like the leaves. Is that true? Jerry in southern Indiana
Jerry,
The hooved rats here in southern west-central KY are not very discerning - they'll eat new growth on young persimmons - they especially like the new shoots on the current year's grafts (GRRRR!) - as well as apples, pears, mulberries, pecans, hickories.
I knew I didn't kill enough of the damned things last winter, but I'll work a little harder at it next time around. Took me about a grand total of 20 minutes 'hunting' to bag 3 big does. I'll spend at least an hour at it this fall.
