I wouldn't waste my time with jap persimmons because they do not drop. You have to literally pull the fruit off. They will rot on the tree. Coons and any other climbing critters will enjoy them and so will you, but not the deer. I would contact the Wildlife group and get some of their wildlife packages. They have everything. Located real close to Auburn. I've not heard this? I was under the impression that they were more bush sized meaning they weren't totally out of reach.

I purchased ~100 trees from them last Winter and I'll be buying about 50 more from them this year...I planted Sawtooths and Shumard oaks ($1.75 per tree since I bought a large quantity), and I also got 2 Japanese Persimmons and 2 Arkansas Black Apple trees ($20 per tree for a 4' tree)

The deer might be able to reach some on the lower limbs, but they will not fall off. They will actually rot on the limb and are hard to get off without breaking a limb. They are delicious to eat.

BamBam32-great question. Purchased land 2005, (SE AL) got very aggressive with planting trees purchased from the Wildlife Group right away. Looking back the pear trees were the most trouble and required a lot of work and addition $'s to fight fire blight. I think I could have spent that time and money more wisely. Chestnuts and sawtooth are easy if you practice keeping the competition far away from trunk and plant no closer than 30 feet feet apart. If I could do it over I would plant on 40 feet center. It has taken my persimmons till last season to produce.
The very best practice with your new trees is the use fertilizer stakes placed two feet from trunk and repeat this practice every 90 to 120 days. Sight One sells by the box ($80.00). The best money you will spend on your tree planting. Good luck and enjoy. Mack thanks for the tips.

The best money you will spend on your tree planting. Good luck and enjoy. Not sure which variety of trees you got but most of their pear trees are pretty blight resistant that I've bought. This is been in the last 5-6 years so maybe they've changed some of the varieties since you bought from them. I've only gotten it a little bit on a couple trees. I've always thought pears were the easiest. I planted them and protected them from rubbing and that's about it.

paintRockO is spot on. If I were 30 vs 69 I would plant Walnuts on every suitable parcel of land I own. I have always wonder why Auburn University is not absolutely aggressive in using their land holding to plant at least some sizable parcels in Walnuts. Money in the bank. I bet government regulations prevents students from planting crops for future profits to the University. Why don't you think all of the timberland investment companies who are trying to maximize income are not planting black walnut trees. If they produced more income than everything else more people would be planting them in my opinion.
