Are persimmon leaves a good mulch to use in a rose garden in winter?
To compost your persimmon leaves, which are large, try chopping them up and mixing them with grass clippings to get the composting process started quickly. Properly prepared compost needs to reach at least 180 degrees to kill all pathogens, but if you can’t achieve that, at least let the compost rot for a year or so, and turn it to get oxygen to the middle of the pile a few times during the year.
