Persimmon:  Seed Germination Persimmon seedlings form a long taproot early on, so they need to be grown in tall plastic containers that will allow the root to form without cramping it. Sow one seed per pot in sterile potting mixture, and make sure the pot has drainage holes at the base. Plant the seeds at a depth of 2 inches, and then set the pots in a warm, bright location. If daytime temperatures stay below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, try warming the pots with a propagation heating mat. Tiny persimmon seedlings should appear in six to eight weeks. Tip Persimmon seeds have a relatively low germination rate of 25 to 35 percent, so start multiple seeds to increase the likelihood of success. Seedling Care Bright, indirect sunlight and evenly moist soil provide the best conditions for persimmon seedlings. Keep them outdoors under sheltered conditions during the spring months before slowly exposing them to stronger sunlight over the course of one to two weeks. Water the s...

Hi Hiroshi, Updated photo coming... Best wishes, Steve. Sent from my iPhone Steve Osmond

Hiroshi I just send photos my greenhouse coach suggest me to gently place away the sprouts one from each other, so their roots do not get entangled I do so very gently, and they seem to like it very much is amazing, all the little leaves that are flourishing, also how these sprouts are so green bright at the sunlight  kind Alberto

Alberto, I will get back to you once I send the pic to Dr Horiguchi and see what he says. Persimmon and ginkgo look kind of different from this pic. Best, Hiroshi Sunairi sunairi.wordpress.com 砂入さん こちらこそご無沙汰しています。 お送り頂いた写真を拝見しました。 エノキ、イチョウ、カキに相当する 葉ではないように思います。 日本ではみかけない樹木のようです。 気候の関係で形が変わるとしたらエノキ に近いです。 年末に帰られるとのこと種は準備します。 堀口　力 Alberto, Dr thought also the same thing. They are neither Persimmon or Ginkgo. He thinks it also doesn’t look like Chinese Hackberry and I agree with him as I have grown it and it had large leaves,  https://images.app. goo.gl/ncY8ZYnVahALfhW99 However, he thinks that maybe since Argentina has different weather, hackberry may have transformed themselves. He has never seen this kind of tree in.Japan. Let’s see more pictures when it grows more. Best, Hiroshi Sunairi sunairi.wordpress.com

Dear Hiroshi sprouts keep growing , so we will keep it together,  and we really think we have to keep it this way  until we plant the little tree on earth next year kind Alberto Shin Ai Naru Hiroshi,  I think the tree sprouts are from seeds of these type of  tree, there were seeds in your envelope the leave is long , not as the gingko leave that  opens in a square shape I have a look at samples of leaves of Chinese hackberry ( scientific name : celtis sinensis ) and they look quite alike  They are growing beautifully Kirei desu ne!! kind alberto

Hi Sunairi SAN I am very happy to report that we have three seeds happily growing in the pot. I think I will leave them together until is time to transfer them to a bigger pot. Today I will make consultation with my greenhouse supplier,  he is a very kind man that knows a lot about seeds and little sprouts like these 3 Since you send ( very generously ) a lot of seeds, I am not sure to whose species these 3 seeds belong, this is also something I like to consult with greenhouse man. But, since the the seeds have at first place two little leaves gingko alike, I think they are gingko. If everything goes ok, this three gingko will be planted together next 2020 :=)  will keep reporting !! kind
