@"Saw-whet"#145 yes it is a lot of work but you know what it pays off in the end especially when you go to the bank.

@"ktrain"#2 The deer at my place love them with a passion and will go to great lengths to get to my little trees. Grrrr. I have fences around my 4 trees. The battle is real.
@"Figgerlickinggood"#7 Three years seems to be the magic number. I sure hope you get fruit finally next spring. Which ones are you growing?

Cool. 
I don't have any Jiros, so I just looked it up. Looks like a good one and nice sized, fruit too. I sure hope you get some this year. Actually, I hope I do too! lol The deer have eaten all of my fruit so far. The fencing this year stopped the damage, so I'm hopeful for next year.

@"2Angels"#127 The only thing that attacks my persimmon tree is Japanese Beetles. The love eating the leaves. Thank goodness they’re only around for about a month then they go back into the ground.
@"2Angels"#127 I chose the Maekawa Jiro from this video. This nursery is not for from my house here in Virginia. They’re in the town of Afton. Tap on watch on YouTube.

Oh yes! Great nursery. He's one of the OGs for sure. I wish they did videos more often. I have an Indian Blood Peach that I ordered from them.
You are lucky that Japanese Beetles are your main. There are worse things for sure! lol We have them, too. One can treat their lawn with Milky Spore to stop them. It's organic, but I don't even bother to do so. Like you said, they aren't around too long.

Teresa another perfect video, from the world's most beautiful Farm. Everything looks like it's been filmed in Technicolor on this land. The colors are perfect. Not to mention the wonderful cast of characters on the farm from the pet birds to the chickens, even the kitty cat are all superstars on the farm. It looks like they have Acres of persimmons ripening I can't believe just two people are doing that Harvest. Thank you once again for posting the videos of this magic Farm.
