[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a kiwi farm in Vienna. I see lots of persimmons around here too. [/quote] I want to try a persimmon! Good to know others grow them. If anyone has direct experience, please share. I’m in NW DC.[/quote] I have a Hachiya persimmon tree (the kind that has to be squishy to eat, not the kind you slice like an apple). Last year we harvested 96 persimmons (and there were a dozen I couldn't reach), and each one is about a pound. The tree asks very little of me - the pruning is easier than my other fruit trees because it doesn't send out 300 new branches or shoots a year. I have cherry, fig, and plum trees too, but the persimmon is a standout for the combination of production and absolute lack of maintenance. [/quote]
