2-3′ These trees will have a good root system. They will range in height between 2′ to 3′ with a diameter of 1/4” to 3/8”.
3-4′ These trees will have an extensive root system and typically having multiple branches. They will range in height between 3′ and 4′ with a diameter of 3/8” to 1/2”.
PLANTING AMERICAN PERSIMMON TREE SEEDLINGS
American persimmon trees will do best when planted in moist well drained fertile loam soil with a pH of 6 to 7 and adequate nutrient levels. However they are very adaptable to many soil types and conditions. Persimmons will tolerate even being planted in heavy soils such as clay and a pH as low 5.5 as long as adequate nutrients are available. American Persimmon trees do not do well when planted in wet soil. However, they will grow well in dry soil once they are established.
If you have not completed a soil test and improved your soil. I would recommend mixing 1/2 to 1 ounce of 0-20-20 granular fertilizer in your soil at the time of planting. The first number tells you percentage of nitrogen contained in the fertilizer. Nitrogen applied directly to the roots of the tree will cause death to your tree, make sure the first number is zero. Nitrogen is very mobile in the soil. You can apply a small amount of Nitrogen the following year as needed. The 2nd and 3rd numbers are Phosphorus and Potassium. Apply these two nutrients at or well before the time of planting, because they are basically immobile in the soil, they will need mixed in through the soil. We recommend completing a soil test and making amendments for best results.
American Persimmon trees grow a very extensive root system therefore once established they are very drought tolerant. These seedling grown trees will give you a mature height of 30′ to 60′. A recommended tree spacing of 10′ to 15′ in groves of 6 to 10 persimmon seedlings. Plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production. Cages of at least 5’ are highly recommended to ensure your deer eat your persimmons in a few years and not your trees this year!
