Have been extremely pleased with the trees (transplanted June 1, 2026).
Planted Persimmon & Hybrid Chestnut - every tree survived shipping and transplant, and are leafed out within days and are putting on growth.
100% recommend ordering. I will be planting more!!

The regular persimmon tree i was able to to get to grow, but the late drop persimmon tree was dead from delivery & they wouldn't replace it because I tried to give it extra care in a plant pot. Don't do that, just plant it in the ground with tree sleeve.
