Description
A grafted female that is self fruitful, produces 1” Persimmons annually. The fruit ripens on the tree will become very sweet, begin falling free from the tree in mid September and will continue with just a slow steady drop lasting into winter . Full Draw™ has survived -30° F winter lows at a very young age, this is a very cold hardy persimmon tree.
The combination of cold hardiness, early ripening in Pennsylvania with having a shorter growing season, and with the extended drop time makes the Full Draw™ persimmons one of best, if not the best persimmons tree available today when growing persimmons for the whitetail deer well up out of the persimmons native range. That said, this persimmon has a very extended drop in the south and is one of the best persimmons for planting in the south as well. Mature height will be 60′ to 80′. Plant hardiness zones 5-9
TREE SIZE
All grafted persimmons trees are as follows 1′-2′ ($32.00), 2′ – 3′ ($42.00), and 3′ – 4′ ($52.00).
These trees are grafted, which is defined as using plant tissue from the original tree and attaching it to the new roots. This essentially gives you an identical tree of the one you see in the picture and description.
POLLINATION FULL DRAW™ IS A SELF FRUITFUL PERSIMMON
Full Draw™ persimmon tree is self fruitful and will produce seedless fruit without pollination through parthenocarpy (the development of a fruit without prior fertilization). If you’re wishing to have seeded fruit, I would recommend planting at least 3 of our cold hardy, highly vigorous seedlings in your Persimmons orchard if you wanted to have fruit with seeds in it. There is no need if you just want abundant fruit that will be seedless.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Persimmons will do best when planted in well drained fertile loam soil with a pH of 6 to 7. However they are very adaptable to many soil types and conditions. Persimmons tolerate even being planted in heavy soils such as clay and a pH as low 5.5 as long as adequate nutrients are available. Persimmons require adequate drainage for proper growth and do not plant in wet areas.
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 the 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 to be mixed in through the soil. We recommend completing a soil test and making amendments for best results.
Persimmon trees are very drought tolerant once established, as they grow a very extensive root system. The trees grafted to this rootstock will give you a mature height of 60′ to 80′. A recommended tree spacing of 25′ to 30′. Plant in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production. Persimmons are very shade tolerant and will produce abundantly but need to receive sunlight on the tree for tree health, and tree growth, fruit is a given even in the shade. You can really use your imagination when spacing persimmon trees. Protect the trees from the deer browsing them, as northern deer love to browse persimmons.

Returns: We have been shipping plants around the country for quite some time now. We provide
healthy live plants. We take every effort to ensure that your plants are packed in a way that
maintains that health as they arrive to you. We can not be responsible for how plants are handled
when they leave our care or are handled by customers.
Tree care: If you plant your tree up on high dry ground they may need watered through the first
summer, if you plant too low and wet your trees may drown. Be careful of the herbicide you may
use around the tree (read the label). I want you and your trees to succeed but if you don't tube or
cage them the deer will eat your tree that night.
Hours: We do not keep regular hours. If you would like to visit the nursery, just call, send a
message or email. Anyone is more than welcome.
Selected pickup dates: Trees can be picked up in the spring as soon as you can dig in your soil.
Trees need to be picked by the end of April. Before picking up, please contact us letting us know
when you are planning to come so we can have your order ready for you when you arrive.
Shipping: When buying grafted trees, depending on the amount of trees you order will determine
the size box the trees will be shipped in. If you order 8 or fewer two-year-old trees, they will fit into a 66''x10''x10'' box. Ordering 9 to 16 two-year-old trees will fit into a 66''x15''x14'' box. Ordering 16 or more two year old trees will fill into 2 or more boxes, depending on the total amount of trees bought. Trees may need to be professionally pruned to fit in these boxes. Ship dates will be selected by you before completing you order. We ship trees from early March to late April. You should select a ship date that is suitable for the location you are planting your trees. Trees will ship through UPS on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s.
You will receive an email notification when your trees ship. When trees arrive, plant as soon as possible. If you cannot, it
would be best to heal them into soil or store in a cool place not allowing roots to freeze but not
allowing the trees to become warm.
If Tree Tube products are the only items you purchase then they will ship as soon as the order is
received. You may have to select a ship date but I can assure you if you are just ordering tree
tubes they will ship immediately. If Tree Tube products are purchased with trees, then they will
ship with the trees.
Due to the cost of shipping there will be a minimum of 4 trees that have to be purchased in order
for checkout to occur. Due to phytosanitary regulations, we do not ship to California. We also do not ship chestnut trees to Washington, Florida or Oregon State. Trees will be packaged correctly to meet the shipping requirements for Idaho and all other states.

This is a grafted female persimmon named Deer Luscious™ that is self-fruitful, producing heavily without a male pollinator. The fruit is seedless without a pollinator. This original tree is well over 100 years old and growing out of the native range for American Persimmons in north-central Pennsylvania. This tree produces very sweet 2" sweet persimmons, dropping its fruit free from the tree beginning in mid-September and continuing to drop well into December. Deer Luscious™ produced abundantly after easily tolerating a temperature of -10 degrees after the polar vortex of 2019. The original tree has thrived during lows to -30 degrees multiple times throughout its lifetime. If you want to plant persimmon trees for deer in the north, this is easily one of my top choices, as it will ripen in time. From a culinary standpoint, this fruit has no black specks in the flesh and is very large, and the taste is very sweet and, above most all, American persimmons. The tree will flower and fruit soon after planting as it is very precocious but usually will abort fruit as most persimmons do and put its efforts into establishing wood, but will begin retaining fruit around year three or four and compound in production year after year. The mature height will be 80'+ and suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-9.

A grafted female persimmon that is self-fruitful, producing 1" + Persimmon annually. The original tree resides in western NY and is around 30 years old. The fruit fully ripens on the tree even with being exceptionally north of the persimmon 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, we sell Tin Cup has survived -30° F winter lows at a very young age. This fact, accompanied by its ability to ripen early in the extreme north, makes this tree able to go much farther north than its original location in western NY and entirely ripen. This tree is very suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-7 in this map, Plant Hardiness Zones. The vigor is exceptional on this tree and maybe the fastest growing 90 chromosomes persimmons I have ever seen when grafting onto 90 chromosomes roots. Tin Cup's mature height will be 60'+

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.
