FREE: Persimmon Seeds - Non GMO

The listing, Persimmon Seeds - Non GMO has ended.

American persimmons are one of the most luscious fruits that can be grown this far north and they’re relatively easy to grow. Virtually pest & disease free and are attractive in all seasons. Seedling trees and grafted trees of improved varieties can be purchased through various mail order nurseries, but propagating your own is an exciting challenge.
American persimmon trees grown from seed, however, can take anywhere from 4-8 years to bear.
If you can imagine in the wild— fruit falls to the ground and gets eaten or rots, seeds remain on the ground through winter buried amongst leaves and brush, then in spring they finally germinate. This is mother nature’s tried and true process of stratification. The simplest method then is to sow seed in a nursery bed, in the fall. If you have a large quantity of seed this method works great, but for smaller quantities I opt for the refrigerator method
Follow steps 1-4 on the following web site to learn stratification or Refrigerator method.
