| Scion of Asian Persimmon "Chocolate" on "Saijo" branch. Two Weeks. 4.28.16 |

| Early Flower Bud of Persimmon "Saijo". 4.28.16 |
At only 2 weeks, I don't expect much. Temperatures have been lower - lows in high 30s, highs in 60s and 70s. I uncovered the "Chocolate" Persimmon grafts so that if the buds do break, they won't be too pale and sun sensitive. The buds look a little plump, and maybe larger than when I grafted. That could be wishful thinking.
Meanwhile there are quite a few buds on Saijo, and lots and lots of buds on Nikita's gift. Those are both in their 4th year, from bare root planting. Both are considered parthenocarpic - bearing fruit without pollinization - so I may get something here.
The American persimmons, Yates (one year) and Prairie Star (two years) are growing nicely. Yates had some deer munching, but it looks like it was not delicious. Only one twig eaten, so far.

As with the pawpaws, if I actually get some fruit on these persimmons, that will be "the bomb".
