Fruity Tootie starts with ... Hi. Wondering how well Persimmon grow in Sydney? I see on earlier posts that people do grow them in Sydney but those that do- how well do they fruit? And when did they start fruiting for you? I bought a nightingale to try and grow but pefore I plant it out want to check I am not wasting my time as I have heard since I bought it thats its a difficult and marginal tree for Sydney? I am very confused with all the conflicting info. Would love some help?!

HappyEarth says... Persimmons are ideal for Sydney. A grafted tree will fruit within 1-2 years. Our 2 year old tree last year gave us 50-60 fruits :) Rich www.happyearth.com.au | About the Author HappyEarth Wollongong 21st October 2011 5:53pm #UserID: 215 Posts: |

HappyEarth says... ALways better to grow in the ground than pots, but depends on if you have the space . Both those persimmon varieties are fine. Buy dwarf if you decide to grow in pot, otherwise normal tree for in ground and keep it pruned to a manageable height.

Fruity Tootie says... Thanks so much. Can I just ask one more thing? I knwo people say don't plant decidious trees around the pool which makes sense, but if I plant a persimmon about 1 metre from pool and keep pruned would that work you think? Also are their roots vigorous? Would they unsettle the concrete of the pool you think? Have tried searching for mature persimmon pictures but not having much luck! | About the Author Fruity Tootie Sydney 22nd October 2011 11:21am #UserID: 5884 Posts: View All Fruity Tootie's Edible Fruit Trees |
