Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant your tree in a hole about 3 times the size of the pot it comes in. Mix the soil with 50% compost. Be sure to plant in a place with full sun. Make sure your Weeping Persimmon's topmost roots sit at the soil line. Add 4-6 inches of mulch around the base of the trunk, leaving a couple of inches of empty space between the trunk and the edge of the mulch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Persimmons need a good amount of water in their first year. If you have clay soil, you only need to water your tree once a week. Light soils will need watering twice a week. In either case, you need to deeply water the roots for about 40 minutes. Your tree should receive around 1 inch of water each week. If you are having an especially dry season, you'll need to water more frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize your tree each year with a 10-10-10 fertilizer. You will need 1 cup for each year of the tree's life. For example, a 2-year-old tree will need 2 cups total for the entire year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":48860248080554,"sku":"10996","price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860248113322,"sku":"10997","price":40.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":48860248146090,"sku":"10998","price":47.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":48860248178858,"sku":"10999","price":44.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":48860248211626,"sku":"11000","price":50.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/91uln6pwn33i_feff0496-1fe7-44fd-a0db-e8179e6e80cf.jpg?v=1784865551","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/black-sapote-fmryt3","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
