I planted persimmon trees a couple of years ago. Mrs Ldubs wanted the two trees she saw at the nursery. I says we only have room for one. So the nursery guy says plant them in the same hole, which is just what I did. One is a Fuyu and the other is a Giant Fuyu. Two trunks coming out of the ground about 6" apart. Both are fast growers. This is the variety that doesn't require ripening off the tree and is kind of crunchy like an apple. Other than they taste pretty good (especially in salads) that is the extent of my persimmon knowledge.
Anyway, this is my first big persimmon harvest -- Just about five 5-gallon buckets worth in total. Fortunately a lot of folks want them.
BTW, I need to thank my neighbor's cat "Spooky". Spooky spent many days patrolling my fence and keeping the squirrels away from my fruit trees.
