Be very careful around persimmons

[7mm08]

While doing some orchard work yesterday on some of my now 1 year old persimmons I think one of them reached out and tripped me and I fell and busted my toe, wrenched my back, and bent the shaft on my weedeater! Dang little buggers, and don't even get to eventually eat them for payback!

Maybe I will just spray them with Round up and teach them a thing or two if I can ever walk again!

You'll teach em al right with round up!!!!!

Speaking of persimmons,I have some around a plot ,they are mature,well big enough to climb.Anyway,this will be my 4th fall there.If they dont produce this year,is it safe to say they are males?Wondering if Ive been unlucky,cause there are at least 45 or so on my place,never seen a persimmon on one.CRAZY!!!!!!

There is one in my plot,Im thinking of cutting it down this fall if it does not produce,put something that will there.

ive got one behind my house and in the last 4 years it has only had fruit twice, I think. It was so loaded 2 years ago, that it was breaking off branches, and last year, it didnt have a single one on it. I hope it makes some this year??

Yeah the males usually have 2-3 small flowers, in contrast to the female that will have one, single large flower. They are easy to distinguish between.
