I planted these persimmon seeds early in the spring, and while they take time to grow, the plants are strong and healthy. I�ve had success with persimmons before, but these seem particularly hardy. I�m excited for the sweet fruit once they mature.
If you�re someone who enjoys long-term gardening projects, these persimmon seeds are perfect. It�s satisfying to watch them sprout and grow into strong saplings. I�m already picturing the sweet Italian fruit I�ll enjoy one day.
Honestly, I wasn�t sure what to expect ordering fruit seeds online, but these turned out better than I hoped. They�ve sprouted into healthy plants that look like they�ll produce in a few years. Definitely satisfied with this purchase.
I�ve tried planting other persimmon seeds that didn�t sprout, but these are clearly good quality. Almost every seed in the pack germinated, and they�re growing consistently. I�d recommend them to anyone with a bit of patience.
Although it�ll take time before they bear fruit, I can already tell these trees are off to a great start. The leaves are strong and glossy, and they�re handling my soil conditions better than expected. Excited for the sweet reward in a few years.
