Pollination & Fruit Production

Recommended Varieties: While self-pollinating, planting varieties like Fuyu or Hachiya nearby can improve pollination and provide a more abundant harvest.
Fruit Description: The Tanenashi persimmons are large, squat-shaped with a vibrant orange skin and firm, astringent flesh that softens into a sweet, creamy texture once ripe.
Taste: These persimmons are known for their rich, honeyed flavor, which is perfectly complemented by their velvety texture once they reach full ripeness.
Ripening Time: The fruit ripens in late fall, typically from October to November, offering a late-season harvest of sweet, smooth persimmons.

How to Plant & Grow Tanenashi Persimmon Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is required to ensure optimal fruit production and tree health.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining soil (pH 6.0-7.5), enriched with organic matter to promote healthy growth and fruiting.
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 12-15 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and ample space for healthy growth.
Mature Size 🌳: The Tanenashi Persimmon Tree typically reaches a height of 15-20 feet, making it ideal for both backyard gardens and larger orchards.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny location with slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Amend with compost or organic material to improve soil fertility and moisture retention.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to provide room for the roots to establish and spread.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to promote strong root growth. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to encourage fruiting.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, animals, and extreme weather 🌳🛡️.
