Steve,

I have two Szukis plants in NM at 7000 elevation. I got them from the late John Gordon (am I remembering the name right) of western NY as shoots on their own roots from a tree that he had.

I had communicated with him about losing the tops of the grafted persimmons I kept trying to plant here. He had told me at first that you couldn't get named varieties on their own roots because they were too hard to make cuttings of but then he was able to get some rooted shoots.

In this region the tops often died during their early years but now two of the original three have established themselves and at least some of the top survives. They are about 3 or 4 feet tall after at least 12-15 years.

I also have another persimmon that grew up from the roots of an earlier grafted plant. Don't know if it is male or female. It's probably close to 20 years old and is about 6 feet high. I've never noticed flowers on it, nor on the two younger plants.

Regards,

Jay

Hello,
Is anyone growing the 'Szukis' variety of persimmon -- in a location where
there are nearly certainly no (northern strain) wild populations of persimmon
around?
Thank you,Steve (NJ)
