Will this bear fruit this summer?

i planted mine at the end of last summer, and it looks very healthy and starting to send up vines, so i expect a small crop this summer. planting now you probably won't get much this year, but next year should be good. i believe the instructions said to expect a crop the second year for sure.

mine won't , because one was dead on arrival and the other one died less that a week later, no matter what I tried. I have been a gardner for over 50 years and have never had this happen before. will not order them ever again though.

Yes, you have to apply some pressure. It also depends on how ripe the fruit is.

So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky. The tree is very small and won't bear fruit for awhile (couple years even) but it seems healthy and happy. (pictures can be deceiving) In the cold months keep it inside near a window with lots of light and warmth and keep it watered so it doesn't dry out. When it's warmer like now, I have mine on my enclosed front porch. Makes for almost a greenhouse when it's very warm, and I think it really loves that! I've noticed some new leaves growing already!! Good luck if you decide to go with it. I would say it's worth the try! So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky.

It arrived at about 6" tall. I don't know how long it will take to fruit. The directions just said that, once it's grown much larger, it will fruit.

3.5 ft, the landscaper said it will be 1-2 years till it fruits from planting. Personal comment I would add is it is tolerating the Phoenix heat of summer very well with minimal watering

Yes you can, mine did great last summer, but died during the winter. I will plant more this Spring and hope it will take hold better and live through the Winter. Good Luck

I have had my persimmon one year and a few months now. It has lots of leaves, hasn't really grown taller but has some more leaves than last year. I haven't gotten fruit yet. We live in a warmer part of downtown santa cruz. It is a lot warmer than SF. That's all I can tell you at this point!

I have had mine for about a year. No sign of fruit yet. Maybe ask the seller. Then let me know!

If i am not wrong, isn't whole of Georgia more of a subtropic with mild winters ? this is a hardy vine, it does not need chilling/freezing hours either, it can very well establish as an evergreen vine, I have grown it in climates without chill. But make sure it does not get hot, it cannot take warmer climates ( anything above 90 F would be an alarm for me ) So answer is yes, if the summer gets too hot in there, then put the plan somewhere where it gets full winter sun but only partial summer sun ( like morning time only .. etc ) Oh also, without decisive winter, fruiting takes a bit of hit, but it does still fruit . hope this helps !!

Yes, it is but I take a Q-tip and pass pollen between all the flowers on the one tree. I now have 5 fruit and they look very healthy. My tree is about 7' tall and it took a year for it to fruit. I keep it inside during the winter but move it outside during the day. I live in PHX. It needs lots of sun, water and warmth. Make sure soil is not soggy - it will rot.

Janet: I purchased this tree earlier in the year and planted it in large pot in the yard. It's doing well but I know it will take a couple of years to bear fruit. You should feel confident in placing it in a pot. Laura

You can eat the fruit. I'm not sure how many years it takes to get fruit. I purchased my tree 11 months ago. It is thriving very well, look great. I have had blooms but no fruit.

It's depends on it's size and weight....it needs to be over 10 pounds to produce fruit, usually. My plant took 1 1/2 years to get big enough to fruit. Good Luck!!

The picture attached is the fruit you can eat. I bought the plant last year and it is growing, but still too young to product fruit.

If you bought it already,,, then no. I did not repot it. I did however give this a bad review. It arrived without any fruit, not even a bud or a blossom. After a full season it still has no blossom. So read their ad with caution before you buy.

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.
