Similar to inoculating plants like beans and peas prior to planting. If you select this option we will include a packet of mycorrhizae granules with your trees.

Everyone knows persimmons are like candy to deer. Regular American persimmons make great early season food sources but if you want to draw in deer throughout the season you need to try these Late Drop American Persimmons. These persimmons are derived from carefully selected populations of native trees that consistently hold onto their fruit late into the year. Fruit ripens in early fall and drops slowly throughout fall and into winter, often holding as long as Dec or Jan. This slow drop time creates a habit for deer and it's not uncommon to see the same deer returning day after day to clean up any freshly fallen fruit. These trees are absolute magnets for deer in the late season.
Their ability to hold their fruit late into the season really takes the attraction level of these trees to the next level. When every other persimmon in the woods has long been dried up these trees will still be dropping right on into winter and pulling in deer from all around. The juicy orange fruits are loaded with sugars that provide the energy needed for deer during harsh conditions.
Persimmons are easy to grow and do well in many different soil types: well drained, wet soils, sandy, clay, marginal areas, etc. As a wild tree they are easy to grow and very disease and pest resistant.
You must protect your trees with one of our Tree Tubes to be covered under our Survival Guarantee. Please read the full details here
