Fall 2026 Ship Dates

(Orders placed after 6/10/2026)

If you place your order after we have completed shipping to your region we will ship your order out within 5-10 business days.

Mycorrhizae is a beneficial soil fungus that grows on the roots of your trees and helps them take up water and nutrients more effectively. 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. Just sprinkle in the hole prior to planting and you're good to go. We don't plant anything here at the farm without using it ourselves!

When you buy from us you can rest assured that you're going to end up with a healthy growing tree come spring. We guarantee that all our trees will emerge from dormancy so you don't have to worry about spending your money on something that may or may not bud out come spring. Just follow the recommendations in our planting instructions and your tree is covered.

You must protect your trees with one of our tree tubes for this guarantee to apply.

American Persimmon

American persimmons are one of the most attractive trees you can plant for wildlife. They are a native fruit tree found across the Eastern US and Midwest that bear a golf ball sized fleshy fruit that is highly sought after by many animals. Deer absolutely love persimmons and will usually visit trees every day while dropping to mop up what has fallen that day. These tangy fruits are like candy for deer and many other kinds of wildlife. They provide an excellent food source and a very high level of attraction to draw deer in from all around. Does 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

Little tree work today on our chestnut trees from Whitetail Hill Chestnuts. We have several of these on our property and plan on adding more in September. I can’t wait until they start producing.

Got my “late drop” chestnuts planted, I was very happy with the way they were packaged roots were moist and the quality of the trees was good. Planted among some trees from last year in hopes of creating a stand of chestnuts in the middle of the farm.

Overall the tree is looking good. I followed the instructions and the tree is looking healthy so far. Looking forward to see them grow and be a quality source of food for the deer.

Seven out of the 10 trees I ordered are actively growing with leaves. The other 3 still look the same. Whether the get leaves or not remains to be seen.

Customer photo review of American Persimmon

Got about 15 trees, persimons and hybrid chestnuts, and so far they are doing great! Looks like maybe 2 of the persimons are not going to leaf up, but that is more than likely someone I did. Really can't complain and can't wait to see when they start to fruit in the years to come.

Customer photo review of American Persimmon

Trees are doing great in their grow tubes, have one late bloomer but still hopeful. Others sprouted leaves as soon as spring hit. Can’t wait to see these matured

American Persimmon

All 5 that I planted are about 3/4 of the way up here tree tube. Happy to see that and hopefully they survive the winter

American Persimmon

All trees arrived on time with tubes. Planted quickly and so far after 3 months in the ground all have survived.

American Persimmon

Everyone of my plants came up but one hybrid chestnut that I’m hoping comes back it was a bear knocked it over fighting another bear but I’m so happy all mine are about over the tree protection they are the best I’ve ever found will be ordering more soon!!!! Ty all so much for the beautiful trees can’t wait in two to five years really to see how great they are!!!!

American Persimmon

All of the persimmons are doing well! Very hardy even with this dry summer.

American Persimmon

The late drop persimmons took from May until now to leaf out but your company explained to me that they develop a root system first. It appears that they are alive and healthy.

American Persimmon

Stock is very small and not what we expected.

American Persimmon

All trees are growing great. Leaves came about two weeks after planting. Very healthy trees already

American Persimmon

Only 1 died, growing slow but they are healthy

American Persimmon

The regular persimmon tree i was able to to get to grow, but the late drop persimmon tree was dead from delivery & they wouldn't replace it because I tried to give it extra care in a plant pot. Don't do that, just plant it in the ground with tree sleeve.

American Persimmon

2 of my 7 persimmons I ordered, never got leaves and I planted all at the same time

American Persimmon

Most of the trees has survived only lost one!

American Persimmon

Took a while to leaf out but finally did and all look good!

American Persimmon

2 of the 7 I planted never got leaves, I am new to planting and don't know if that is to be expected or not?

American Persimmon

See review of Late Drop variety.

American Persimmon

They are very delicate at this point.

American Persimmon

Mixed review here, I planted all trees on the same day. Half of trees I planted never took hold, the other half are doing beautifully.

American Persimmon

The trees are about 10” inches height and as thick as pencil lead. Waiting to see if they leaf out. Felt the description is misleading. For the price of the trees I expected more.

American Persimmon

Well, the one is sprouting leaves so far. The other one nothing happening yet. But, I read it may take a little time for them to sprout leaves at first. So I’m hopeful. See what happens. Thank you.

American Persimmon

Trees were fine, unfortunately I microburst knocked down some cherry trees into my orchard and may have destroyed 2 pear trees.
