Step 1 Pick the jujube fruit in November. Remove the stone from the center of the fruit, and scrub it under running water to remove any excess pulp. Step 2 Moisten a handful of sand, push the jujube seed into it and place it in a plastic sandwich bag. Seal the bag and place it in the  refrigerator  where it should remain for 90 days. Check the sand periodically to make sure that it remains moist. Step 3 Plant the stone 1 inch deep in a sunny area of the landscape in the spring, when the outside temperatures are over 60 degrees F. Cover the seed with soil and keep the soil moist, but not saturated. If you are planting more than one jujube tree, plant the seeds 15 feet apart.

"Last December, Hiroshi kindly gave me this large plant that had full of leaves on its branch when he had a solo exhibition in Horticultural Society of New York. After his exhibition had finished, I took the plant to my apartment. but the leaves started falling off because of the cold wether. ............ One day in June, while I was going out, I put the pots on the fire escape to give them sun light. that was the time a big squirrel I had sometimes saw came and dug the soil in the pots and bit the plants at its root..........to read all the texts along with his beautiful pictures, take a look at  http://www.flickr.com/photos/katsuhirosaiki/sets/72157624816952658/with/4931031039/

"Dear Mr. Sunairi, I planted all the Plantanus seeds I received at the end of May after following the germination recommendations. Only one sprouted (*though its a perfect one!) This is 2 weeks after sprouting near the end of July. Best Regards" ---Dorothy Collins

"Hello Hiroshi, I wanted to send you pictures of our Persimmon tree because she's been doing so well this summer! She was in the show at the Horticultural Society. They took very good care of her. They said she was very healthy. She did have a little bit of a white bug type thing under her leaves and they explained that that often times comes from the soil that we buy in the store. They sprayed her leaves with dish soap and water and the little white bugs left. We brought her home and I got concerned that the underside of her leaves were going to get the bugs again so I started misting under her leaves. I have no idea if I'm right about this but I feel like it made her feel tickled and good because now she's been growing like crazy! I've sent 3 pictures. One of them shows a leaf that is not the typical shape. It is kind of heart-shaped. Is this normal for persimmons? There were two and then one grew out into the typical oval leaf shape.
