@ ANGEL – Hi Angel and thank you for your question. Unfortunately I do not specialize in gardening or anything dealing with farming and growing plants, so I cannot help you or advise you in whether the seeds will grow in your region.

Perhaps try searching in google, growing patterns of Persimmons and maybe that may turn up better results.

Thanks and wish I could have helped more.

Hi Evita,

I am very interested to maybe plant it in the Philippines this tree called Persimmon and I was able to collect some of this seeds in which I bought them from the local market. can I use this seeds and will they grow there though we have summer hot climate there, can it grow on the higher elevation
which are much colder climate.

Thanks,

Angel

I am a persimmon novelist and only have had persimmons 2x’s in my life. Once 18yrs ago and recently when a co-worker brought in a few fuyu persimmons from her tree. The taste is amazing. They taste like a small melon and an apple at the same time. Now I understand the term “Fruit from God.”

@ HANLIE – It is great to have you back, so glad that your internet is up and running again. I can only imagine the feeling of being internet-less, but on the other side of things, it is a good mental break too in some ways ;)

I thought that you must have these fruits in South Africa as they do grow in warm climates. And lucky you, because honestly they are amazing, especially when ripe, it is like a refreshing dripping honey!!!

I’m back!

I’ve seen them in the shops, but having no idea how to eat them, never even thought of buying them. But now I’ll be sure to give them a try – maybe even today! I’ll let you know…
