I ordered a persimmon tree from Ty Ty nursery. I’m not seeing any good reviews on YouTube. Is everything from them bad?
Has anyone ever ordered trees from this nursery?

Seems the reviews are not the best.
I will not bash them as I have not bought from them.
And that it not what we are all about here.
But I will say it is best to read reviews and ask around before buying from anywhere.

Oh wow! Glad I am seeing this post. I was thinking about ordering paw paw trees from them...I think I better stick to Peaceful Heritage and One Green World.

Yea I thought so...I can't remember if I have used them or not.
Mostly Gurney's or Fast growing Trees.

Please let us know about your experience when you get your tree. It might be a great tree... maybe not... But you're well known here so your opinion of things holds more trust than random internet reviews. Please keep us posted

Best among the ones we've order from (many) was Trees of Antiquity - larger and healthier than most. Check them out.
www.treesofantiquity.com
A local nursery/feed store might also have some, that's usually cheaper and you see the tree before you buy and usually they are in 5-7 gallon pots as opposed to bare root.
Another option is also to order bare root saplings from U of Kentucky or U of Missouri - they have American persimmon for $0.60 to $1 a tree, and whip and tongue them when you get them. You'll have to source the scion wood, you might be able to do this locally (the lady across the road from us has a nice Asian variety).
You might be able to use some of the smaller/thinner branches from your tree for WnT scions, best to collect them when they are dormant and store in the fridge until the sap is just rising in your RS. It's probably too late to order from those programs this year, but I could send you a couple from the U of K I got last Friday if you wanna try it.
Heirloom Fruit Trees for Home & Farm Trees of Antiquity rooted organic
Heirloom fruit tree nursery grounded in organically grown apple trees. Trees of Antiquity is a small family farm shipping heritage fruit trees to homes and farms for over forty years. Growers of over 400 varieties of fruit trees shipped bare root. Folks reserve fruit trees for shipment in winter...

I've heard bad things but not ordered myself. I recommend ourgreenworld I've gotten Poms and figs from them, all healthy, they sell persimmons and many other fruit trees.
