About Persimmon Trees

August Persimmon - Morse Nursery

Separate Your Property
From Your Neighbors

Planting persimmon trees on your property offers a powerful advantage for whitetail deer hunting. These native fruit trees produce sweet, nutrient-rich fruit that deer find irresistible—especially during the fall months when persimmons ripen and natural food sources dwindle. Unlike food plots that require annual maintenance, persimmon trees are a long-term investment that provide reliable attraction year after year, often drawing deer consistently to the same area. Their fruit drops gradually from late summer into November, making them a natural, low-pressure feeding site throughout bow and rifle seasons. By strategically planting grafted persimmons, which can begin fruiting in as little as 3–5 years, hunters can create a dependable, stealthy food source that improves deer movement and increases stand success.

Genetics Are Important

Traditionally, persimmon trees require a male and female to produce fruit. We offer grafted female persimmon trees that produce Male and Female flowers. All propagated from our carefully selected mother trees. Unlike many fruit trees that require pollen from a different tree to produce fruit, our persimmons do not require a male persimmon tree to produce fruit. We graft these trees to preserve the unique genetics of our mother trees, ensuring every new tree inherits their reliable fruit production, hardiness, and self-sufficiency. This makes our grafted persimmons an excellent choice for growers who want a low-maintenance, productive trees with minimal hassle.

Their sweet, nutrient-rich fruit provides a valuable food source, especially in late summer and fall when other foods become scarce, making persimmons a hotspot for wildlife activity
