How Do You Plant Fuyu Trees?
The Fuyu is a type of oriental persimmon tree that can be grown in warmer climates, USDA Zones 7 to 10. Fuyu persimmons are large, sweet and orange-red. Such persimmons are popular among homeowners because they don’t require winter chilling and are very hardy. Fuyu persimmons are also relatively pest-free. Plant a Fuyu tree in your backyard for a reliable and healthy source of fresh persimmons. Choose where to plant the Fuyu tree. Fuyus are hardy and don’t require a specific type of soil. However, they do best in well-drained loam. Take into account that the Fuyu tree need full sun and can reach a height of 25 feet and 15 feet across. Break apart the soil with the shovel and take out any large rocks, as these will obstruct the new tree’s root growth. Amend the soil with an application of tree fertilizer, applying according to the specific instructions of the fertilizer manufacturer. You may purchase tree fertilizer from your local nursery of the garden department at a general retailer.
