| I'd like to order several Asian persimmon trees, for either fall or spring planting. What online sources do you recommend? Variety, price and quality are important to consider. So far I see both Isons and Willis Orchard have reasonable pricing. Shipping cost is another factor. |

| If youre up to it rarepalmseeds.com has about a dozen species of persimmon, from NA and asia. Of course it may take a bit longer to get large tree, but the price is right! I do belive that persimmon also come true from seed, at least species wise, not cultivars of course |

| Tony, thanks for the info. I'll have to decide if I can grow the Asian persimmon trees. The past cold winter damage makes me re-think it again. Would bigger trees able to sustain the winter cold better than the young trees? |

| RedSun If you worry about the harsh winter then go with the rossyanka Hybrid persimmom. This guy can handle the cold weather to -20F and taste good too. I grafted 4 of these guys 3 years ago as backup to deal with the harsh winter. Tony |

| I just can't afford to lose half of my fruits to once a time harsh weather. For a fig tree, I care less, but not a 5-yr old cherry, or persimmon.... |
