Persimmon


Question
I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and 6 yrs. ago I brought home a Fuju persimmon from the nursery and it had 3 blossoms on it, (which dropped after transplanting).  It has not put on a single blossom since.  It is a beautiful semi-espaliered tree but NO blossoms.  The nursery told me it did not need a pollinator and to fertilize it this past late winter (first time I've fertilized it), with a low nitrogen fertilizer...I did, still no blossoms but it's still a beautiful, non-fruiting tree.  The nursery is stumped and I am disappointed. Do you have any explanation for the problem?
Thank you,
diane

Answer
Hi Diane,
Thanx for your question.  I'm not really a fruit tree expert.  Allow me to refer you to our fruit tree experts here on Allexperts.  You can access Elyse Grau or Nick McCann by going back to Home/Gardening and then click on Gardening and then click on Fruit.  I hope this helps.
Tom
