| Hello, I may have an opportunity to plant some American persimmon trees at a community garden nearby. There is an area there that floods when it rains, and there can be standing water for several days after heavy rains. FWIW, there are a lot of buttercups and coreopsis growing there. How well does American persimmon tolerate standing water? There is also space where it does not flood, but I was hoping to take advantage of the flood prone area with something that will put up with that, and save the higher ground for trees that will not.

| Yes, they do take a beating.Flooding over a month or so maybe not.Just plant them and you are good to go. |

| Thanks for the feedback. I don't think the area is ever flooded more than a week or so, certainly not a month. |

| If possible mound up the dirt before planting. |
