Hello, I have a Meader Persimmon tree that is now 11 years old. Last year it produced its first crop -- 8 persimmons. I got to eat one and the squirrels got the rest. I had help obtaining scions of other American varieties from Lucky and England. All total I grafted 12 of those scions on to the tree. Eleven took and grew very well all summer. The next season after the winter only one graft survived. I was sorry that I did not label the scions after grafting.

Last year the tree was 10 years old and I was disappointed that it only produced 8 fruits. This is the 11th year and I count 12 persimmons like shown in the photo below.

I had it do you think I should just cut it down and replace it with another type? What would you do? Thanks for any advice. One more thing I have planted 4 other different persimmon trees in my yard but they are rather young yet.
