Persimmon Trees look so beautiful now.
Comments (1)I was thinking about adding Cofee Cake persimmon next spring, but heard that it needs pollination. Will my Ichi, Jiro or Sheng pollinate Coffee cake or it has to be Chocolate Persimmon? Olga...See Morein need of some opinions
Comments (8)Hi, I just spoke with a person at Edible Landscaping for advise about how to deal with this new young one-gallon persimmon tree. She stated definitely for me not bring it indoors for the winter. It would die. The tree is now in a semi dormant state growing in an opened up structure. It is getting hit with he full force of Mother Nature so it will be semi hardened off when I get it.. Shortly all the leaves will be shed from the tree. She stated they do that with most of these type fruit trees. If I want to store it until spring I have two choices conserding that I am in zone 5. Keep it in my unheated garage mulch around the pot 6 inches as well as the area around the tree also keep it watered as needed through the winter months. The second is do just about the same thing keeping it in it's pot outdoors and mulch as stated above.. The best thing she stated to do would be to take the plant and plant it in the location in zone six but I should also mulch that to a depth of 6 inches a well. When the tree arrives it looks like I will make a trip to my son's property in zone six and plant the tree following her instructions. She claims that it should do okay like that. I want to thank all of you for chipping in with your thoughts and suggestions. Regards. Lou...See MorePersimmon tastes this year
Comments (58)For those looking for things to do with persimmons I thought I would follow up with what I did with all my Hachiyas. I was going to make a big batch of jam but I started cooking it and noticed it was getting more cloudy not more clear. I don't think you can make clear jam with persimmons. Looking at recipes it seems like persimmons make persimmon butter. I decided to instead take the pulp I had and try some other things. I made fruit leather in the dryer which came out very well. I probably over-dried it (20 hrs), the stuff is quite chewy. Last time I dried persimmons they rotted in a month, this stuff won't do that! Making leather required a bit more work than just drying the slices, but it is going to be a lot more popular as leather. I didn't find a lot of interest in my previous batch of dried persimmons in spite of their wonderful taste. I made some ice cream following a recipe on the Dave Wilson website, that came out very good as well. Lastly I made persimmon custard, basically take a custard recipe and add a couple cups of persimmon pulp. That also came out very well. The pulp separated to the top so the top was more persimmon-y and the bottom was pure custard. I just pushed the pulp through a strainer to get out the seeds etc and this gave me little chunks of pulp about the size of the holes on the strainer. To get it to go into the custard more uniformly a food processor on it would probably have helped. Scott...See Morepersimmon festival at edible landscaping
