  • Best thing would be to take wood from that tree and graft it to new trees. Some American persimmons are parthenocarpic and it is a very desirable trait. Let some nurseries know about the tree, maybe send some pictures, they might even give you some money for grafting wood and let you name the new variety!

  • I'm wondering how the perennial snake gourd is going. Did it produce fruit?

  • @wendolpho Turns out it tasted incredibly bitter. Dang.

  • where is this garden located?

  • @chuckthelumberjack Holyoke Massachusetts.

  • Eric,

    Where do I get seeds for the climbing spinach? Is there a seed exchange? I'll trade seeds of patience dock....

  • @perennialsolutions  thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately the tree is on someone's property that I haven't asked permission...yet....hopefully they won't mind.

    BTW I hope to meet you in person in west chester pa. Thanks

  • Last year I found a persimmon tree that had seedless fruit. Knowing them to be dioecious I became curious as to what I found. To bear seedless fruit would be called parthenocarpy if I'm not mistaken. A few fruit had one or two seeds. So I am wondering if I could I save those seeds, plant them and expect to grow more female trees that don't need a male? thoughts anyone?

  • Really cool video man

  • this is beautiful. I grew up on a farm thinking "this doesnt work"... did a few years of reading and am now curently slaving away in the city earning more than I did on the farm to buy some farm land to create a forest garden... :D

  • @ perennialsolutions - Thanks! I'll check them out! -- James
