Is it possible to grow persimmon tree in Boston MA area?
Hi, I was told I should be able to grow a healthy japanese persimmion tree in the Boston area. I had tried 2 persimmon trees already in the past 2 years, one Fuyu and another Jiro, but none of them seem to be able to survive the winter here. So I was wondering, is it even possible? And if so, can someone tell me which one I should get and try again? Thanks.

Hi
I just wanted to say, thank you rainbowgardener. I took your advice and got a American Persimmon but hahahahaha... I guess Jiro persimmons are late bloomers. I checked the tree this morning and the buds that I thought are dead and dried out are turning green.
Now I know for next year when to see the tree to bud
