May I know whether it is possible to grown a Persimmon Tree in Toronto? I have web-searched and found only US based Nurseries selling Persimmon and am thinking of purchasing one to plant. However, I am unsure whether the Fuyu will survive our Zone 6-6A? Thank you
Hi TreeGardener: Yes, you can grow a Fuyu in Toronto. You are near borderline for coolness so you will have to take some measures to protect this tree from cool winds but especially the cold ground. Plenty of moist humus and/or wood chips (bark) placed on top of the soil and with some humus applied with soil around the roots at planting should help. You will want to plant this tree where it can get as much sun light as possible where you are, yet somewhat protected from any real cold winds. Jim
