Hey all, I'm looking for nice FEMALE Virginiana persimmon bonsai material (I own a male). I currently have no females so I'm open to anything.

Will trade equal bonsai value princess persimmon specimen, or pots, or other trees. Please PM me. Thanks

Would you like me to try some air layers for you? I have several trees close by that are HEAVY producers. Not really bonsai material, more like bonsai-ish material.

I will have lots of seeds this year if you are Interested.

There's a tree I know of at a local park. Seedlings everywhere however gender on the seedlings are unknown. The mother tree produces good fruit. Next time I'm there I'll see if there's any old fruit on the ground to collect the seeds.

Bumping because its winter! I have some massive princess persimmons for trade. Nobody has collected trunks of Virginiana in the wild?

Hey now! Hi Nao! I have a yard full of large trees with lots of volunteers. Is there a way to sex them when they are young? How soon do they begin producing fruit? Would love to connect with you anyway cuz cool pots...

I will DM you, but Virginiana flowers pretty soon, I have seen maybe 3-4 years

I'll be doing some collecting this winter/spring in Persimmon country. I'll be on the lookout! I've heard people say they are difficult to transplant - we shall see.

Not sure if this matters, I checked fallingfruits.org for foraging fruits, but they only seem to be located in public parks and bases around here. Then found some at local native grower for VA dept of forestry - https://www.buyvatrees.com where they sell in bulk as seedlings for their forestation order program. - https://www.buyvatrees.com/shop/persimmon-1-0-diospyros-virginiana/

I thought I saw some @JEads Left Coast Bonsai, but I might’ve been daydreaming. I get disoriented there.
It was nice meeting you at the holiday party, hopefully not too awkward
Those crabapples, of @Sansokuu, you brought for the auction were the cutest! Unfortunately, all my salary went to children's christmas presents
I hope they will make another appearance

How old/big do you want Nao?

Ideally a nice fat well rooted trunk

 

[bwaynef]

Maybe I should've asked the opposite question. How small is worth bothering for you?

I've got access to seedlings, but I'm looking for big trunks. I've got massive princess persimmon trunks 2-3" I'm willing to trade for a like size Virginia
