Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA) 8/10![]() Update: 5297 days 16hrs Comments: - My mum gave me this persimmon tree for my birthday but it's still in its pot. Now that we've had beautiful rainy week I'm happy that the soil is nicely soaked through and that the manure and blood and bone have been well incorporated, so we're ready to plant and mulch before spring. The tree was fruiting when it was given to me, and these were the most exquisite persimmons I have ever eaten. We're hoping that the tree will fruit again next autumn, which is when we are expecting our first baby. Fruiting Months April Planted: 2010 Height 1.5 metres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 3 Fruit Per Year Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: cow manure, blood and bone When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: None yet. I avoid interfering unless a plant is suffering badly; instead I make sure the plant is vigorous and well fed to help it fight off the attack. Was this review helpful?
