I'm going to order a couple and plant them in the backyard to see how they grow and produce. Anyone have any tips or pointers on these?

Plenty of em round here too. Have to race the possums for them when their ripe. PawPaws and persimmon are my favorites.

YUP... Love them persimmons. A good friend of the family used to have a couple of those asian persimmon trees. Them things could get about the size of a tennisball on a good year unlike the wild ones :grin:
