RE: My Hunting Property
Farm Hunter; The persimmons are growing on the small farm that I live on near Niagara Falls. I've planted a few up at the property but we'll have to see how they do. Right now everything that I move from my home to the property is a gamble because I'm going from a growing zone 7a to a 5b. So far I've found that chestnuts and persian walnuts are handling the climate up there. If you were close to lake erie or Lewiston, NY you could easily grow persimmons. Sometime if you're over this way let me know and I'll show you what can be done.
Timbercruiser; I've now got about 200 beautiful seedlings potted in 1 gallon pots. Some are 2 feet high with branches. They'll go in this fall. I'll plant the bulk at my home (100 trees), 50 will go to the Outdoors Association up north and the last 50 will go on the far end of the farm field that I mention has 2,000 trees planted. The one with the open field and a big, old apple in the middle.
Ron M.; the property is at latitude 45 degrees. That's probably about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up Michigan and straight across Lake Huron from it. This isn't northerm Canadian shield land (granite). The rock that you see in the picture is just that, one big rock that has anywhere from 0 - 1 ft of soil on it. That back field is a bioherm, an old coral reef made out of solid limestone.
