Persimmon grafting

Description

Soil Requirements

• Type: Well-drained loamy or sandy-loam soils.

• pH: 6.0–7.5

• Drainage: Crucial – waterlogged soils can kill roots.

• Organic Matter: Enrich with compost or aged manure before planting.

Flowering & Pollination

• Time: Spring to early summer.

• Pollination: Some varieties need pollinizers, others are parthenocarpic (fruit without fertilization).

Harvesting

• Astringent types: Wait until fully soft and ripe.

• Non-astringent types: Harvest when firm but fully colored.

• Time: Typically 7–9 months after flowering.

• Yield: 20–100+ kg per tree annually (depending on age and management).
