I had a catastrophic failure of my Fuyu Persimmon tree, so I decided to try to salvage something from it.
In this video, I'll be propagating persimmons using some of the cuttings I made from the damaged tree. Normally, I wouldn't be propagating in the summer, but as you will see, the state of the tree left me no choice.
I've been propagating fruits and vegetables for several years, with great success. In the past I've propagated grapes, muscadines, blackberries, figs, tomatoes (and lots of other things) from cuttings. This is my first time for propagating persimmons. Not only will you see my propagating technique, but also the persimmon cuttings at about a month into the process.
So... Check it out. This might be something you'll want to do when the weather starts getting cooler, and the time for propagation is a little more ideal than it was for me.
Take care,
alan
