My persimmons after the winter ....
Comments (0)Hi all forum members, I`d like to share some information concerning plants I have in my garden. We had very strong winter. Temperatures we had were very low - minus 30-35 C during 2 weeks, and minus 15-20-25 C during almost all winter. My inground persimmon (Jiro and Meader), 2 pawpaws and a fig tree (burried) survived that cold. I also have potted 2 jujubes (Li and Lang) and Fuyu and Rosseyanka persimmons. Potted plants were stored in unheated, let`s say small shed located in my garden. They were just protected from the strong wind, but the minimal temperature inside was minus 16 C. All my trees survived with no damages, I am so happy. Rosseyanka was put to the ground. All my persimmons and jujubes now have swollen buds, so it means they are waking up. I live in Poland.

Comments (2)what is your soil ... define what you mean by standing water... duration.. depth .. etc .... define how you planted it ... it MIGHT be water.. it might be how you treated it at planting.. and it might just be transplant shock ... was it potted or ball and burlap? .. did you do any root surgery if the roots were circling???? transplanting .. and properly planting a fully leafed out tree is incredibly stressful to said tree ... rain.. in soil that drains SHOULD be a plus ... no matter the amount ... but if your soil is clay.. and you created a tub that holds water .. then you could have problems ... but it usually takes longer for roots to rot.. rather than diagnose stress ... you MIGHT want to stick it back in the pot ... but wait until others have provided their thoughts .... if the pot is gone.. the nursery you got it from might have a recycle bin .... and a pic sure might help ... good luck ken...See MoreCan my tree survive the catipillars?
Comments (6)A knee-jerk reaction might be to saturate the tree with insecticide. But I have a better idea. Identify the caterpillar and learn its life cycle. Tent caterpillars form their tents or webs in the crotches when cherry and crab apple first start leafing out. If no one is monitoring the tree the young foliage can be eaten but the tree usually bounces back. Learn how to recognize the egg masses on twigs. They look like they are coated with brown varnish. This is how they overwinter. Remove them one by one and put them in the fire. No toxic spraying needed. Sam...See MoreGopher damage - will my lemon tree survive?
Comments (4)Thanks Steve! I've added some pictures; the mobile site wouldn't let me do it for whatever reason. I should also add that it's a dwarf tree in case that matters. Good to hear that there's hope, it's a very productive tree. Haha I usually don't drink either! It was the name of our kitty when I joined the internet eons ago and the handle just kind of stuck :)...See Morerosaprimula
