- Produce a warm soil. Use drain tile, clean cultivation, a southern exposure, windbreaks, warm water trickle irrigation, clear plastic mulch, etc.
- Irrigate to eliminate moisture stress. 3 cm of water per week is typical for productive fruit groves.
- Plant pines to the north and west, and plant persimmons on a slope with good air drainage to the south and east.
Finally Gordon recommends that persimmon be polyculture planted within walnut groves. He notes that a persimmon grown "in a walnut grove it is two weeks earlier than where it grows in the open." He even notes that it not only tolerates but benefits from juglone.
Benefits: The fruit that these mother trees produce is sweet and ridiculously prolific. Standing under a fully mature persimmon is truly a sight to behold. We are keenly interested in sharing these persimmons with pig and turkey farmers who are future-focused. We hope to have these in stock for the next few years but the future of Hershey nursery is uncertain — buy today! Agroforestry applications include wildlife and livestock support. Potential commercial applications include specialty vinegars, heritage baking, and craft wine.
