I bought Nikita's Gift from One Green World in '09. It was at least 3 years
old. Last year I got my first persimmon. Oh, happy day!. 2 years ago I had
flowers but they dropped without developing fruit. I am 30 miles west of
Chicago which has been reclassified as 5b. 2 years ago we were having some
severe weather in January in the negative numbers so I covered it with a
large plastic bag for about 2 weeks. There has been no die-back but the
severe weather may be the cause of the flower drop.
