Hi Kristen,

I’m down in the Wimberley area (south of Austin), but I just saw Tx persimmon trees for sale at the local nursery. If you have no luck in your area, I could try to get the supplier info and you could order from them. Let me know if you need the help.

Hi Kim,
I’m in north Austin, near Round Rock and I love persimmons. I’m used to the orange variety in California and stores, so the black variety is new to me, but I bet I’ll like them. Can I bid $2.99 a pound? I can give you whatever you think they are worth. I’m just guessing on the price.

Anyone from san Antonio or Austin want home grown persimmons? My crop is about to come in- starting to turn black and I will need to pick soon before the deer strip them out this yr- they are starving… Give me price you are interested in and you will get handpicked 1 inch fruit.

This has been a great ongoing discussion – glad it has helped.

Since I know I have a female tree, I am thinking about looking for a male, just to be sure I always have fruit.

Jean, I’ll be looking around this spring as well – maybe we can work out a good way to identify males from females at the flowering stage.

Hey there to all, Very informative posts & comments. I am going to add some persimmon trees for feeding my chickens – I got the bug from here – http://avianaquamiser.com/posts/Persimmons_for_chickens/-they are located where they can use American or Asian persimmons. My search for West Texas friendly species led me to your site. We have some wild Texas Persimmons so, we are right on track. Thanks for all the info you have included here. Happy Trails!

By the way, the East Tucson nurseries I saw more Texas Persimmons at were Civano’s on Houghton and Mesquite Valley Growers on Speedway. Neither nursery had them in stock until about a month ago.

Hi Ruth, well I just bought my 3rd Texas persimmon from a nursery in town a month ago because out of their newly acquired group of trees, one WAS fruiting so I knew it was a female! It is only 3 1/2 feet tall, but had a decent crop on it, so seems like they do fruit fairly early for their size. Just saw another in a different local nursery (probably the same shipment though, same grower), about four feet tall with fruit. My first two are more like 1 foot tall, so who knows if those are males or females, but I at least now have one female. Of course, you may have a female that just hasn’t been pollinated with male pollen, so no fruit this year. What I guess we all need to do is compare photos of the tiny flowers in the spring to see the morphology. I hope my little trees bloom!
