[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5420889, member: 20594"] Wow!...that persimmon tree is loaded! Don't blame you for wanting more trees like that! Some of our persimmons dried up and fell off early during the drought. I've never started any tree from a cutting but would like to try....in particular there is a pear tree in my Dad's field that was my grandmother's....no idea how old that tree is but I ate pears off of it as a kid and this year it's loaded....I would absolutely love to get some cuttings started. I mentioned trying to start a pear tree from seed on here and was told it was not going to work and that I should use cuttings and I needed to buy the growth hormone powder or gel to dip the cutting in before potting.....if memory is correct I was told to plant 20 cuttings if I wanted 5 trees to make it....not easy but doable. So if persimmon needs to be started from seed....I'd plant several in pots next spring where you can nurse them through the summer......you could also return next spring and plant several seed near where the mother tree is doing so well.....sounds like an interesting project! Good luck! Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
