What conditions are needed for growing persimmons? A detailed explanation of the latest growing requirements

Persimmons have a very long history in our country. They taste sweet and juicy, are rich in reasons, and can also be processed into many kinds of foods. Of course, as a fruit, they can also be eaten directly, and can also be used to make wine and vinegar. The small persimmon can be said to be a treasure from head to toe. But many people are still rather unclear about its growing conditions when planting. Let us take a look at the detailed introduction below.

1. Temperature

Persimmons like to grow in warm and hot weather conditions. They can be planted in environments with an annual average temperature of 10-22 degrees. The annual average temperature in southern regions is relatively high, so they are not suitable for planting there. When the temperature is too high, sunscald is very likely to occur. The annual average temperature in the north is suitable, so they can be planted there, but it should be noted that during the few months of winter, when the temperature is relatively low, cold protection and freeze resistance must be done well, otherwise the plants will suffer frost damage. When dormant, persimmon plants have a strong ability to withstand severe cold and can safely overwinter at temperatures of minus 15-20 degrees.

2. Water

Persimmon plants are tall with relatively developed root systems that go deep into the ground, so persimmons have extremely strong drought resistance and are not strict about water requirements. In areas with annual rainfall of 450 millimeters, they can grow normally without watering. However, during dry periods, appropriate watering is still needed to avoid affecting the growth and development of the root system. With fewer fibrous roots, in areas with relatively high rainfall, drainage and waterlogging prevention measures must be done well. If soil water accumulates and is not drained in time, it may affect its growth.

3. Light

Persimmons are a light-loving crop, and light conditions are extremely important when planting. When grown in an environment with sufficient light, its branches will grow thick and strong, the leaves will be a deeper green, the amount of flower bud differentiation will be higher, the fruit color will be better, and it will also help the accumulation of sugar and improve the taste. When grown in an environment with insufficient light, the plant grows thin and weak, the amount of flower bud differentiation is small, the fruit quality is relatively poor, and the taste is more astringent.

4. Soil

Persimmons have developed root systems and a strong ability to absorb water and fertility, so they are not strict about soil requirements when planting. They can grow normally in mountainous areas, hills, riverbanks, plains, sandy land, clay land, and other soil areas. However, if planted in areas with shallow soil layers, more watering and fertilizing are needed. Soil pH between 5-8 is all acceptable, with the most suitable pH being 6-7. Generally, when pH exceeds 8, problems will appear in its growth.
