Characteristics of persimmon trees

1, root system: the new root is white, the back is black and the inside is white. The root system grafted with Junqianzi as rootstock is shallow, with many fine roots, long root hairs and far lateral roots, which is more drought-resistant and barren-resistant. Persimmon as rootstock has deep root system, few lateral roots and fine roots, weak cold tolerance, but relatively strong moisture tolerance.

2. Branches and leaves: After budding and spreading leaves, the branches grow rapidly and reach a certain length, the terminal buds wither and fall off, and the lower lateral buds replace the terminal buds, so the persimmon is a pseudo terminal bud. The top of persimmon tree has obvious advantages, and the big branches are easy to bend and sag.

3. Fruit: The persimmon is blue before it is ripe, and the fruit is hard and hard. When the fruit is ripe, it is fiery red in color, resembling a fireball and translucent as crystal.

The growing environment of persimmon trees

Persimmon is a deep-rooted tree species and a positive tree species. It likes warm climate, abundant sunshine and deep, fertile, moist and well-drained soil. Suitable for neutral soil, cold-resistant, but more resistant to barren, drought, saline-alkali soil. The germination temperature of branches and leaves is generally required to be above 65438 02℃, so it is later than deciduous fruit trees. Persimmons are suitable for warm climate and are quite cold-resistant. Due to the abundant sunshine and moderate rainfall in the north of China, the number of flowers, fruit sets, yield and quality are better than those in the south.

Persimmon is suitable to grow in the average annual temperature of 9-23℃, the extreme temperature in winter is above -20℃, and the annual optimum precipitation is 500-700 mm. Persimmon has low requirements on topography and soil, and can grow in mountainous areas, flat land or beaches. However, it is best to use soil with deep soil layer, good drainage and considerable humidity, and the requirements for soil pH value are not strict, and pH6-7.8 is appropriate.
