These are American persimmon tree seedlings. They are grown from 90 chromosomes of cold hardy America persimmons (Diospyros virginiana), all northern sourced seed. These Persimmon tree seedlings will reach heights between 50' - 80'. These trees are grown from the seed derived from the Full Draw™ persimmon tree, seedlings from the late Jerry Lehmans orchard, and BH Hoosier. BH Hoosier seedlings are derived from many of our favorite persimmons, with Szukis being the pollinator to produce the seed. When producing from all female trees, the odds go up on having many female trees in your planting of seedlings. These are all cold hardy to about -30° F. They bloom from late May to early June, avoiding late damaging frosts to blossoms. Many times, American persimmon are referred to as common persimmon. However, these are anything but a common persimmon tree. These fast-growing persimmon trees are Vigorous, producing an extensive root system as seen in the pictures. Female persimmon trees produce fruit annually. Deer relish persimmon trees for their sweet plum-like fruit that drops in early fall through winter. Seedlings will be male or female. Only female persimmon trees produce fruit. Be sure to plant in groups of 6 to 10 and use tree spacing of 5-10'. Persimmons are very shade tolerant; even the center female will produce fruit from top to bottom as the trees mature together. When planting seedlings, you will get a variety of drop times from late summer through fall and into winter. When planting these persimmon seedlings into optimal soil, the females will begin flowering and producing in four years or less and carry their fruit. Going through the pictures, you can see what I mean about spacing and planting to create something extraordinary, as seen in the pictures on November 9th. Your options are below in size and variety. These will have a mature height of 50' to 80'. Position them accordingly into your plantings so they don't shade out other trees.

This grafted pear tree produces a dessert-quality pear. Ayer's pear begins dropping in very late August to the beginning of September, and pretty much finishes dropping by the end of September here in central Pennsylvania. Moving this tree south from here may drop a little earlier, depending on when your trees bloom. Drop times will move forward as you move it north. This is perfect timing, as the bucks begin shedding their velvet and a few start dispersing to set up their new home range. I wouldn't create an orchard that didn't have fruit falling at this time, so you can pick up some new bucks without losing them. Ayer's is just one tree that is an excellent example of a tree capable of doing so. It's a good tree that stays disease-free in a no-spray situation. I have seen no FireBlight in this tree and good resistance to scab in a no-spray situation. This tree has excellent vigor and produces annually with a decent-sized European pear that is very sweet as it falls (no need for cold storage to become sweet). Ayer's pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 5-7.

Bluebyrd is a great European-type plum that has excellent resistance to black knots. Black knot is one of the most common ailments to afflict plum trees. It is caused by the fungus Apiosporina morbosa and will severely limit fruit production on plum trees and eventually cause death to the trees. Bluebyrd is a vigorous, hardy, productive tree with good black knot resistance! Bluebyrd produces fruit with bright blue skin, and the fruit's flesh is yellow. The fruit it produces is medium to large, has a great flavor, and has a high sugar content. A tree like this will add diversity to your property with a different bloom time than apples, pears, and persimmons. The diversity in bloom is an excellent thing to ensure a crop.

A commercial variety of grafted crabapple, widely grown as an ornamental tree, has made its way into wildlife plantings. This tree produces a 1"- 1 1/2" sweet edible crabapple that persists on the tree and begins casting fruit as colder weather sets in. You may say one inch sounds small, but think about how many 1" acorns a deer can eat. Now, picture them being a sweet, soft mast. Attractive to deer? Yes! This tree produces consistent annual crops of crabapples. Like most crabapples, they persist on the tree, but as they mature, they cast a lot of fruit to the ground. Callaway has good resistance to almost all common apple tree diseases except that it only has moderate resistance to Cedar apple rust and quince rust in a no-spray situation.

CrimsonRub™ Crabapple produces an impressive number of quarter-sized crab apples annually, attracting considerable attention from local wildlife. I know this tree personally, and every deer heading toward the food plot hits this tree first. You've got to remember acorns on an oak tree are quarter-sized or smaller, and the deer take them down, and they do even more so when it's a good soft mast hitting the ground during the fall.

This crabapple tree begins to drop its fruit in mid-to-late October and continues through mid-November, with a small amount persisting into December. When I say a small amount persisting into December, that may be a thousand or two crabs hitting the ground, as I have never gone through and counted them. People look for late-dropping oaks and chestnuts, missing the opportunity for something even better, such as a soft-masted tree like CrimsonRub™ Crabapple. This crabapple has very high vigor and produces fruit on 1-year-old wood. CrimsonRub crabapple will reach a mature height of 20 feet or more. The original tree has withstood ambient temperatures as low as -20 degrees, making it suitable for plant Hardiness Zones 4b-8.

This grafted pear tree, named Marble Hill, originates from North Central Vermont. This stand-alone pear tree produces a medium to large Comice-type pear with a complex, smooth, creamy flavor. The original pear tree resides in zone 4, where temperatures range from -25 to -30 each year, yet it bears heavily and annually without another pear tree in sight for miles. My Deer gobble these down as fast as they fall. The tree doesn't produce until year 4 or 5, depending on your soil, but after that, the production is outstanding every year.
Marble Hill drops free from the tree in September and into October, with a majority dropping during September here in central Pa. This tree has wide spreading limbs and will reach heights of up to 30' tall, and has remained very clean with no blight seen. This tree is simply a solid producer, producing annually even at -25 to -30 temperatures, making it an excellent choice for northern climates. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 4 - 7

A Grafted female that is self-fruitful. Developed by the late Elwyn Meader in New Hampshire. Meader Persimmons is widely grown in colder climates Because of it being very cold, hardy to -30° F. This tree is heavy bearing with sweet fruit that ripens in early October, continues to drop into November, and has some fruit persisting on the tree into winter in the NorthEast. Meader will produce fruit annually, making this persimmon an excellent choice as it fully ripens here in central Pennsylvania and drops free from the tree for an extended time. The fruit is sweet and a nice sized at 2''. This is one of my favorites as I like to bow hunt in PA, and this tree drops slowly through our bow season, running from early October into late November. Mature height 40'-60'. Plant hardiness zones 5-9.

Morris Burton bears heavy crops of persimmons annually that very slowly drop, beginning very late in central Pennsylvania. The tree is much more suited for the south if you're looking for something that falls in November, as it just wants to persist on the tree up here. This persimmon fully ripens on the trees in central Pennsylvania but sheds very little fruit and holds most of it throughout the winter. This would be an excellent choice if you're looking for persimmons falling late in the year in the Deep South. Morris Burton produces 1 1/2" - 2" persimmons with an okay flavor here, in my opinion, but I'm sure they would be better further south (the deer here suck them down). This tree is vigorous, early producing, and typically produces in the 3rd year. I added some pictures below to show you what I see from the deer and the tree in PA. The Mature height is 40'-60'. Plant hardiness zones 5-9.

With its 13ft circumference, 70 feet in height, and 60-foot wide crown, it produces enormous loads of sweet nuts every year, dropping in late September and extending well through into late October. The nuts produced from these trees are large and very edible for humans and deer alike. This tree is a complex hybrid of chestnut genes once widely grown in the dominant chestnut growing region of early America – Eastern Pennsylvania. As the massive American chestnut crops produced northeast of Philadelphia succumbed to the chestnut blight, farmers rapidly ramped up production of the European, Japanese, and Chinese chestnut cultivars. And these farms spawned hybrids that still exist today. The Northern Giant™ Hybrid Chestnut has Chinese, Japanese, European, and American genes and has been identified as a Chinese x [(European x Japanese) x American] hybrid. Take advantage of this successful quadruple genetic hybrid and order two or more of them to assure cross pollination. Northern Giant™ is the most vigorous chestnut tree we have ever seen. The original group of trees has experienced -20 degrees, making them suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-8

This grafted tree produces a 1 1/2'' crabapple that begins bearing a lot of fruit at a very young age. This tree will typically begin bearing fruit the same year you plant it. October Crab™ has a very sweet taste, good disease resistance. In a no spray situation I have seen no fireblight, powdery mildew or cedar apple rust. I have seen some apple scab on the leaves but the fruit remains pretty clean in a no spray situation. It drops heavy crop loads at a heavy rate through the month of October and into November making this tree very desirable for bow seasons. The original October crab™ crabapple tree always has more deer sign under it compared to the many other wild apple trees in the same area.
October Crab™ is a deer’s favorite! This picture was taken October 6th, at this time the tree was dropping just a very few apples in Central Pensylvania. You can see the fruit is near perfect without ever being sprayed. This is one of those trees that if you only planted one you will wish you had 10 in time. This crabapple is yet another tree that may not be immune to insect pest that commonly remove a lot apples prematurely but definitely shows strong signs of resistance, for video click here. October Crab™ crabapple will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 5-8

A grafted, fast-growing tree with good disease resistance produces abundant annual crops of 1 ¾" crabapples at a very young age. The fruits are good for eating out of hand and for the deer. It is a highly vigorous tree and produces fruit annually. In a no-spray situation, I have observed excellent resistance to cedar apple rust, fire blight, and powdery mildew. I have observed apple scab developing on leaves in non-spray situations, particularly in years of excessive rainfall, and when the area is not mowed to break the cycle. I have the trees growing in a mowed area with no spray, and I have never seen any scab. The tree still produces bucket loads of fruit even in a no-spray, no-mow situation. The tree is still one of my favorites and has been for many years. Crabs are King!
Prime Time Crab will begin dropping in the last weeks of October and continue through November and December here in central Pennsylvania. This crabapple is also dropping a lot of fruit into December here in Pennsylvania, and I wouldn't have a fruit orchard without this tree in it. It doesn't take much time to look at my pictures of this tree, and you can see why I would not have an orchard with a few Prime Time crabs growing in it. For a video of a young Prime Time Crab, CLICK HERE. The tree is highly productive and provides a maximum draw at just the perfect time. This tree will reach a mature height of 20 feet or more.

This Grafted tree produces an abundance of super sweet pears that begin ripening on the tree in mid-November. The original tree is HUGE for a pear tree. It has over a 6’ circumference at the bottom, stands well over 60’ tall, and is a 60+-year-old tree with zero signs of ever having fire blight. When I gained permission to access this tree, the owner told me “o, that pear, the deer really love that one.” I knew this because I had been watching this pear for years that even in Pennsylvania's heavily pressured rifle deer season it was a given that morning or evening, there would be deer under this tree. This tree produces an abundance of super sweet pears ripening on the tree, remaining palatable, and begin dropping mid-November 2 weeks after Kieffer pear. Rifle Deer Pear™ only drops for a few short weeks….Therefore making this a powerful and fast draw that typically ends the 1st week of December. As I observed this pear tree dropping, I noted that there were never any on the ground and always loaded with deer signs! This tree produces an abundance of pears annually. The Rifle Deer Pear™ would be perfect for jams and jellies, but we're not looking for that here. We are looking for a tree that’s highly desirable by deer, and this tree is one of them! This tree has seen a low temperature of -22 degrees which would place it hardy in zone 4b. However, This makes it a solid pear tree for planting in Hardiness zones 5-8. Rifle deer pear will reach a height of 20'+.

The Road Kill Crab™ is an exceptional tree. It is disease resistant, producing heavily on one-year-old wood, making for a tree with weeping branches loaded with crabapples. These 1'' to 1 1/2" crabapples are spicy tart and attractive to the whitetail deer. Roadkill crab™ has extreme vigor and grows exceptionally fast. The original Road Kill crab™ tree has claimed a lot of deer as it hangs over the roadside. Road kill deer always lie on the Road beneath the original Road Kill Crab™ tree. This tree earned its name and has proven exceptional when looking to feed or attract deer.
The crabapples from this tree start to shed a few in early October and continue well into December. Like many Crabapples, some years Road Kill Crab™ likes to persist and may need some good wind to pour crabs to the ground. The Road Kill Crab™ is very precocious and generally bears fruit the same year as planting. This tree is self-fertile and has extreme vigor among the cultivars grown here. In a no-spray situation, I have seen excellent resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, powdery mildew, and fireblight or immunity. The mature height of Road Kill Crab™ is 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zone 4b-8.
The RubyRush™ apple is a cross between two popular apple trees widely planted for wildlife Enterprise and Goldrush apple. This apple tree has excellent resistance to apple scab, FireBlight, and Cedar Apple rust in a no-spray situation. The fruit is crisp and great for fresh eating on the way to the stand or feeding wildlife as this fruit ripens and begins falling in October and continues into November here in Pennsylvania. RubyRush™ is vigorous and maybe too productive as it can go into bi-annual bearing if not thinned. However, I will take a disease-free apple falling at the right time (Oct/Nov) on my properties and as many as possible. RubyRush™ is suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-7. Mature height will be 20'+—plant Hardiness zones map.

Striped June apple is, very simply put, the most Productive, disease-resistant early apple possible, which will be falling free from the tree the earliest in a given year on any property and for many miles around. That statement alone makes me want to plant some, as I know I have bucks that are not yet transitioning to fall patterns. However, I know from my 40 cameras when a deer pops in for a day or two. These would be bucks, I know from the previous year, that will transition to me in the fall. I love to feed soft mast as soon as I can, until as late as I can, and this apple does the job of being the first to drop for me from mid-June into the first week of July. This 2''- 2 1/2'' apple is tart with a sweet flavor on the back end, and one that deer seem to prefer; it is also very suitable for human consumption. Striped June apple has high resistance to all apple tree diseases, whether it's being planted in the far south or the north, every bit as much as liberty apple or better. The tree is annually productive, vigorous, hardy, and suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-8 with a mature height of 25'. Hardiness zones 4b-8

A grafted female persimmon that is self-fruitful, producing 1 1/2' + Persimmon annually. The original tree resides in northwestern NY and is around 30 years old. The fruit fully ripens on the tree, even though it is exceptionally north of the persimmon's native home range. Tin Cup persimmons fall free from the tree on October 1st and continue into mid-November. During this time, the fruit is very sweet and, of course, is devoured by all wildlife and deer alike. As with most 90-chromosome persimmons, Tin Cup has withstood winter lows of -30°F at a very young age. This fact, accompanied by its ability to ripen early in the extreme north, enables this tree to extend its range much farther north than its original location in northwestern NY and fully ripen. This tree is very suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-9. The vigor is exceptional on this tree, and it may be the fastest-growing 90 chromosomes persimmons I have ever seen when grafted onto 90 chromosomes roots. Tin Cup's mature height will be 60'+

This grafted apple crab produces heavy crops of giant crabs to 2"+ sweet apples annually that hold well to the tree and drop from Mid-October well on through winter. A good portion of this fruit will fall during Late October and into November for most of the country's northern half. If you're like me, you want your property to peak in November. I like that the Turning Point™ tree ripens unevenly and gives me a substantial drop during a pivotal point in buck movement in November here in the NorthEast. Turning point™ apple is a Late-season apple by the sheer fact that it produces so much that the drop continues well into winter. This apple tree shows strong resistance to C.A.R, Apple Scab, powdery mildew, and fireblight here in the Northeast.
Turning Point™ is a tree that does not ripen at the same time. A huge bonus! This tree will have deer looking for its sweet-tasting fruit in October as apples start falling. That dependable attraction will continue well into the winter months. Turning point™ is a tree that has already proven fantastic here in the north. I believe that this tree will prove itself to possibly be one of the best late-season apple trees to hit the south that has ever come along. I could write on and on about this tree, but it's easier for me to show you a video. Click Here to see the video.

Whole Season™ crabapple is a very precocious tree that will fruit aggressively at an early age, grows 1 1/2” “Honey Crisp tasting” apples, has good resistance to common apple tree diseases and insects, produces heavy annual crops, and is a very vigorous growing tree. While no tree is immune to insect pests, I have watched coddling moth remove many standard size apples in my tree plots, while Whole Season maintained a heavy fruit load. Whole Season™ Crabapple will begin dropping the last week of September and persist into the New Year, with a majority of the crabapples being released from the tree during October/November. The unique aspect of Whole Season is that the crabapples ripen unevenly which provides a very nice extended drop time. The deer are still visiting this tree all December long and into the New Year. Whether its October or December, the apples are cleaned up every night. Apples will continue to drop through January, making this the perfect food plot tree. They even remain very palatable and attractive to the whitetail deer at this time. This tree was still highly desired by the deer with a few hundred other wild apple trees in this area and several commercial apple orchards within the immediate area of this wild tree. Whole Season™ will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 5 – 8. To see a video of why this tree got named Whole season click here.

These two trees both reside here in Pennsylvania but would make an excellent tree to plant from here to southern Wisconsin. The Woodland Chestnut trees are both near 80’ tall with a circumference that it would take 3 people hand in hand to go around these trees!
They produce an annual abundance of medium to large, very sweet chestnuts at a very early age ( 3-5 years depending on your soil conditions) which flower well after the chance of frost. Woodland Chestnuts are very fast growing, and will get HUGE! They have excellent blight resistance and are very cold hardy. These trees have been through "ambient temperature" of -22 degrees. The Woodland Chestnut will grow some truly GIANT chestnut trees! Do NOT plant in with fruit trees as they will end up shading out your entire orchard. They are an excellent tree for planting after a timber harvest.
