My uncle planted some around his house years ago for deer. I forgot how many years it took for them to produce but it was soon. Maybe like 5 years. I was taught at LSU they are a very good tree to add to your native trees for mast production. Good luck with yours. I wish I had started at our place years ago, but I planted a couple persimmon trees this year and plan to add a few different types of trees every year.

My dad planted a small hay field with them several years ago. The first batch planted in 2007 are close to 40 feet tall. The other side of the field was planted in 09 and they are at least 30 feet. They grow fast and drop early.
The deer frequent them in early fall.

I’ve got 6 in my front yard,put out tons of acorns every year.Problem is , nothing eats them,not even squirrels.

I was talking to a guy one day that had quite a few planted on the far edge of a pasture behind his house.He said it took 20 years before the deer stated eating them.
