Planting Instructions
Cold stratification improves germination. Soak seeds in warm (not boiling) water for 12–24 hours. After soaking, place seeds in a plastic bag with equal parts damp peat moss and sand. Store in the refrigerator for 60–90 days, checking periodically to ensure moisture levels are maintained.
Once stratification is complete and sprouts appear, plant seeds in pots with rich, well-draining potting soil, root-side down about 1 inch deep. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, and place in a warm, sunny location.
As seedlings grow, transplant them into larger containers as needed. Trees should be at least 1–2 years old and 3–4 feet tall before moving outdoors. Once established, Date Plum Persimmons will provide delicious fruit in 4–6 years and thrive for decades in the right environment.
