How do I plant persimmon trees??
Howdy! What kind of soil and light do I need?? I wish to plant them on a slight slope near a pond. Like maybe 15 yards from the bank ?? FYI the word howdy comes from the acronym “how do ya ??” A greeting or an invite to talk. Let’s talk!!

Howdy to you too! Hopefully you live in the right zones so they will thrive. I had a girlfriend that had a tree in her back yard and she always brought the extras in to work to share with us.

Howdy! Both Asian and American persimmons grow best in well-drained and slightly acidic soil. Locate trees in full sun and space them 20-25 feet apart or 12 feet from a structure.
Persimmons are great trees , and they're easy to plant. First, dig a hole wider than it is deep. Then, choose a plant with nicely developed roots. The crown should sit a tad above the soil line to accommodate settling. Start backfilling the soil to create a pyramid in the center of the hole. Set the tree on top, and add enough dirt to fill the hole. It's the same process as planting roses.
Mulch helps to cut down on evaporation and also keeps the roots cooler in the summertime.
Persimmons are also very easy to maintain, as far as pruning is concerned. Simply prune limbs that are crossing and dangling.
You are going to have such a beautiful area....
Hi, depending of your planting Zone...Fall is a good time in many places...make sure you mix your native soil with bagged good mix...….make the hole wide enough, keep it watered...Those trees look great in our area, especially when they lose their leaves and just the beautiful fruit is showing....JMO
Thank You kindly. I’ve also been told I should have my soil tested and can use a “kit” to do it myself. But no one as told me where to find them. 3D
A good nursery will carry them also...at least in our area....JMO
