It is Critical to Avoid Biting into a Persimmon Before it Ripens or Falls on the Ground.

The Bark on the Common Persimmon Tree is Very Similar to Alligator Skin. It is Thick with Short Furrows that Form Square Block Ridges. The Unique Bark Texture and Dark Brown to Black Color Create Beautiful Winter Interest in a Landscape.
    Persimmon Germination:
    1)
    Persimmon seeds have a relatively low germination rate of 25 to 35 percent, so start multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of success with each grow.
    2)
    Wrap the seeds in moistened sphagnum moss or paper towel, then put them in a plastic bag or jar
    inside the refrigerator for three months. If the moss or paper towel dries out, spritz it with some water to keep the persimmon seeds moist.
    3)
    Persimmon seedlings form a long taproot early on, so they need to be grown in tall plastic containers
    that will allow the root to form without cramping it. Sow one seed per pot
    in sterile
    pot
    ting mixture, and make sure the pot has drainage holes at the base. Plant the seeds at a depth of 2 inches, and then set the pots
    in a warm, bright location.
    4)
    Use a heated propagator to keep the temperature above 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Tiny persimmon seedlings should appear in six to eight weeks.
