Persimmon Tree Fruit Seeds
I�d read about the �chocolate fruit� and wanted to try growing it myself. The seeds came in good condition, and after a few weeks I saw the first sprouts. Definitely something different from the usual apple or citrus trees.
If you�re the kind of person who enjoys long-term gardening projects, this is perfect. The seeds germinated well for me, and while fruiting will take years, I�m happy to be on that journey.
Out of the 6 seeds I planted, 5 came up within a month. That�s better than I expected for something so uncommon. The seedlings look sturdy, and I can�t wait to see them develop into fruiting trees.
I soaked the seeds overnight before planting, and nearly all of them sprouted. The seedlings are now thriving in pots on my patio. It�s exciting to grow something you don�t see in regular stores.
I�d never grown black sapote before, so I was curious. The seeds sprouted after a few weeks, and now the plants are healthy and strong. It takes time, but I�m excited to taste the �chocolate pudding fruit� once it matures.
