Default Re: Need a lil help with Persimmons

The American persimmon Diospyros virginiana is very cold hardy. You'll need 1 male plant for each 4-6 females. It produces plum-size fruits. The unripe fruit tends to bring on indigestion in mammals and the animals become wary of it.

As an alternative to persimmons, consider growing winter wheat or alfalfa in a separate area and fed it to them incrementally.
