"deciduous," do you mean these stems are shed as leaves are in the autumn? --

-----Original Message----- I've never had much difficulty
germinating persimmon seeds. I soak the seed for a few hours after extracting it
from the fruit, wash it, then put it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator along
with some moist potting soil. I take the bag out of the refrigerator after about
three months, keep it in a warm room, and wait for roots to appear. Once they
appear, I pot up individual seeds into deep containers.

get only about 50 percent take with whip and tongue grafts made when rootstocks
start sprouting leaves. Many persimmon stems are deciduous, so one theory that I
have is that many of the grafts that don't take were made with stems that would
have been deciduous, so don't live.
