RE: Persimmon Tree Question
Common pesimmon, or Diospyros virginiana, has fruit that is about 1-1,1/2 inches long, and is yellow to pale orange in color. its hardy in zones 4 to 9.
japanese persimmon is 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Best in zones 7,8,9. So forget Michigan for this one.
You should fertilize them annually in the fall.
