Since grafting little persimmon trees isn't practical, does anyone
(or
any nursery) sell persimmons from cuttings so the buyer knows he has a
male
AND a female? ((I'm looking for a Diospyros virginiana)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That was my original question as well, as I have about 10 trees and a
place for 2 of them at home, the rest going to the country where I have 5
acres of land. The trees may not be marked as female or male, but
tomorrow the following site should be selling 25 persimmon trees for
about $7. The site is at: http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/cgi-bin/mdcdevpub/apps/seedlings/sear
ch.cgi?record=all I do not know what the ratio of male to female is in
the general population, but figure you should get at least one of each
out of 25. They list the Persimmon as Diospyros virginiana. They are
for delivery next spring. I have been having an average of at least 80%
survival rate, and I have been late getting them in the ground the last 2
years. If someone is really interested and the site won't ship out of
state, let me know and I will. If there are legal considerations, please
let me know, I do not know what can and cannot be shipped where. I have
again added last year's list of available trees, and will send an e-mail
with this years list tomorrow or as soon as the list is posted. Love,
Peace and Perception
