Summer Repotting of Chojubai and Princess Persimmon

[Goodbrake]

So the takeaway is to repot in early summer when the leaves have hardened off and then fertilize well once the roots have recovered?

That's what I'd try, depending perhaps on how hot your summers are. Here in TX I'd be tempted to repot in later summer since we can have really hot summers and have a decent amount of time from the end of summer before the first frost. This winter I had some TX persimmons that never even lost their leaves, and they're exploding with growth now.

If I knew about this data earlier, I probably would have delayed collecting the persimmon I dug in mid February until late summer, and just done the hard top pruning in February. Too late now, so I'm just keeping it humid while not flooding the roots, basically treating it like a 3 foot tall cutting.

This is all of course assuming these patterns are common across the diospyros genus.
