Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots spread out, place the tree at the same depth it grew in the nursery, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first growing season. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, American Persimmon is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Fertilize lightly in early spring if growth is weak. These trees are generally pest and disease resistant and can live for many decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 American Persimmon bare root plants, each 10-12 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836029174070,"sku":"FOLIA2-1929","price":99.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6592997906_eqs7.jpg?v=1793097535","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/2-american-persimmon-trees-diospyros-virginiana-10-12-inch-bare-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
