I Was lucky enough to be introduced to a very nice persimmons tree yesterday. Droping a nice sized delicious fruit from early September through into December. This tree is another monster well over a 100 year old growing up out of the native range of persimmons. You will see this variety next year. This tree just needs a name! Pete Bowman lived there all my life till Dave bought it. He hunted out of a little cabin up in the woods. Pete's perfect persimmon? Daves delicious Persimmons Heavens Candy Blue Hill Wildlife’s
Whitetail Sensation Persimmon.

Century Sensation Persimmon.
Just a try. When will they be available? well since you mentioned 100 yrs or older .. .the Century tree , or the Centurion I'll take some Sundrop Fall candy Yankee Introduced?? Stalking.. Started Picking up chestnut under Fall Draw today. There starting to drop! 4' to 6' trees still available many of these trees are actually above 6' and branched How old the trees that are producing in this picture? How much are the little trees If they're ordered now when do they ship? Those black things are they chestnuts 🌰 Are these American chestnut When do they quit dropping nuts? An update on the seedling grown persimmons I had posted about this tree back in the spring/summer. I had cut down all my male trees this year to show that they will produce will out a male pollinator. As you can see fall has arrived for me. I believe this tree will be holding and dropping for another month. The orange fruit is excellent but most persimmons taste very similar. How old is that tree? A video of Winter Crabarina! This tree is not going to shed an apple until about January 1st. The pictures on the website are from last year and this video is from a few days ago. This tree produces very heavily and annually. A great tasting apple holding its consistency even after freezing and thawing! A favorite late season food source. Beauty at it's best, I am waiting for winesap apples! Put me on a list to get some. Id like 10. How old is this tree Any left? Brad Hockersmith Eric Conrad look at this beauty! A little video I took to show why I keep adding so many chestnut trees! It looks like this year in and year out because they produce anually. I just need enough trees in the ground to try and get ahead of the deer. Nuts are gone as fast as they fall. The deer leave the ground beneath the trees looking like a barnyard! The chestnuts I collected aren’t as spikey but the nuts are huge inside Are you working with any particular cultivars or trees you’ve found locally there? Lots of fertilizer going into that tree They must paw at them to open them up because those are the prickliest things I have ever held. Anthony Goodell You have heard me say that pears don't grow true to seed. This is true, and while its highly possible you won't get something palatable to a whitetail but the chance is there to get something great. This wild tree is one of them, a wild pear seedling may take 5 to 10 year to produce fruit, All of my pear trees are grafted passing along the great genetic traits of trees that I find. A grafted tree will produce fruit much sooner that a seed grown tree. This pear is one of those great ones, as I was passing by this tree I could see it was loaded. I needed to know the story so I approached the land owner and inquired about the tree. Looking at the tree I didn't believe it was a named cultivator. I asked him where did you get the tree? He responded with "I found it growing wild I dug it up and brought it home''. I asked when does it drop his answer was "all fall long". My next question was the deer, do they come in after them when they're dropping? his answer "everyday". In this little video I took you can see this tree is heavily producing a medium to small European looking pear. I asked him does it produce like this every year his answer ''yes''! The apple tree directly next to this pear tree was suffering bad from fireblight. That told me this tree has some resistance as its been growing next to that apple tree for 20 years and the pear tree is spotless. Needless to say, this pear tree as already come home with me. I gave it the name Fisher's pear after the old man that brought this tree home 20 years ago. Might need a couple of these in the spring! Should these be good for 5b and 6a? You guys are doing great things What does grafted mean? Tree stalker. A tree that's not sold out the October Crab! I got a chance today to visit the original tree. This video makes it pretty easy to see, why I brought this crabapple home and gave it the name October Crab. I added a clear video in the comments. youtu.be/hpYEnssxq2Y a clear video of the October crab Oh my, spiced Crabapples! 👌 Wow, I remember that tree from your April 29 post of when it was in bloom. It is as loaded with crabapples now as it was with blooms then. I bought a few! That is awesome Looks loaded and ready to drop Can it get cedar rust? Autumn VanCuren How long does it take for this species to fruit. Amazing how much difference in the taste of a green one to a ripe fruit on the persimmon, I would have to fight the deer for them if I had them on my property. Advent pears are giants! This pear is still one of my best finds to date! Generally fruit is grown on 2 year old wood not with this pear!! That fruit is hanging on 1 year old wood!! Dont let your tree do this remove the fruit. I only let this on to show you. I was impressed to see this little limb not break from the weight.. How old is this tree? Bears would crush the tree. I pull fruit off small trees. Cant wait Nice can't waitBlue Hill Wildlife Nursery Blog
