Then remove from the pot with dirt attached and carefully plant it in the ground during a wet spell. A bare root tree could be simply planted in the ground or could be potted and then unpotted and planted just after it started to leaf. Planting instructions are included with each tree. They are tolerant of wet soils and also do well on light sandy soils. Once established, they can withstand considerable drought.
Persimmons are one of the easiest fruit trees to grow.
They have almost no pest or disease problems. The tree can be kept small with judicious pruning. After the form of the tree is established, usually a modified central leader, pruning should be confined to light thinning and heading back excessively vigorous growth. Persimmons flower and bear fruit on the current seasons growth. The large glossy leaves turn bright red each autumn.
