Persimmon is a persimmon plant of Persimmon family, which is known as "woody grain" and "hardcore crop". Persimmon is a deciduous tree, native to East Asia. Persimmon has been cultivated in China for more than 3000 years. Persimmon is not only nutritious, but also has high medicinal and economic value.
Persimmon is a famous berry food, which generally ripens around 10, and its fruit is oblate or nearly spherical. Because there are many varieties of persimmons, the colors of persimmons are slightly different. Some persimmons are light orange, while others are dark orange. Some varieties of persimmons will be picked when they are immature, and some persimmons are turquoise in color. Such persimmons will taste very astringent, so they should be eaten after maturity.
Propagation method of persimmon
Persimmons are usually propagated by grafting, and most of them use three rootstocks, namely, Junqianzi, Wild Persimmon and East China Oil Persimmon. Each rootstock has its own characteristics. The seeds of Junqianzi have high germination rate, strong seedling growth, good affinity with persimmon after grafting, rapid seedling growth and good cold and drought tolerance. Wild persimmons are the main rootstocks of southern persimmons. The grafted persimmons are more resistant to moisture and drought, and are suitable for growing in warm and rainy areas. Taking East China oil persimmon as rootstock can dwarf persimmon and bear fruit ahead of time, but persimmon has a short life.
Grafting methods can be cut, cut, split or bud grafting, especially the big square bud grafting method is more suitable. During the grafting period, according to different grafting methods, grafting is usually carried out in early spring (late March), and it is most suitable when the rootstock seedlings begin to sprout and the scion buds have begun to appear green. Bud grafting usually takes place from late August to early September. After budding, the incision should be dry and bound with plastic strips to prevent drying.
