Thread: Fruit, Nut, and Vine Grafting, Tree Propagation, Tree Care

Do you try to propagate your seeds? I saved some American persimmon seeds and I’m going to try propagating them. I figured I can always use them as rootstock if nothing else.

Fuyu persimmons have very few seeds. I would air layer to propagate for a head start. I've bought rootstock seeds from Schfield Seeds but didn't care for the trouble with growing the rootstock one year maybe two before grafting.
