My dad and I planted 43 trees yesterday…5 Dunstans, 8 red mulberry, 8 black cherry, 12 Mexican plums, and 10 Chickasaw plums. Not gonna lie, it was pretty special. 2017 Team Aldeer Turkey Contest Champion 2018 Team Aldeer Turkey Contest Champion

Sure enough they are persimmon trees. I have a lot n a few plots now, but some in almost all of them. They start producing persimmons in year 3 or 4. I left a LOT in one plot and I’m going to move some in the spring. I enjoy watching them grow and the grandkids and I eat a FEW of them. I have some big mature ones on a few properties and everything n woods loves persimmons. Lot o pics on camera when they are dropping n late fall.

My local co-op gets barefoot persimmons in and they’ll appear to be grafted. I’ve bought several but the area I’m planting in is already full of persimmons. But it’s about 80:1 male to female so far.

Man that’s legit! Looking forward to seeing how yours goes as well. That sucks about the 80-1 😂. My next round I’ll do some more Dunstans, some nuttall oaks, crabapples…open to more suggestions. 2017 Team Aldeer Turkey Contest Champion 2018 Team Aldeer Turkey Contest Champion

They get a lot of attention. I’ve planted about 8 pears and I’m excited to see them start producing in another year or two.

Pears, plum, crabapple, mulberry, and peach they nibble into oblivion if they aren’t caged. I built 3-4’ wide cages with 4-5’ tall hog wire and reinforcing mesh that I had laying around. I like them much better than tree tubes in my application.
