Anybody here grow Asian persimmons? I have no experience with these trees, but I'm thinking about starting some from cuttings this winter, and so I'd like to learn a bit more before I get started. I especially would like to hear from people with good varieties for the Pacific Northwest.

From what I understand Persimmons do not grow from cuttings. I buy rootstock from some of the universities and graft.

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!

American persimmons are easy to grow from cuttings, but I was told Asian persimmons are next to impossible by a friend who used to run a large tree and greenhouse operation.

Every day on this side of the grass is a good day. The first on the other side will be even better.

In the past I have grown them from the seeds in store-bought persimmons.
I wanted to do that again this year and bought 2 persimmons. Sadly, NO SEEDs!
