Thoughts on Persimmon trees?

My brother in law wants to plant some on my hunting property for the deer. Anyone have experience with them? What little I've read makes them seem pretty maintenance free once planted. Thoughts?

they aare great attractant. grow easy and produce well with little work
If you have food plots though be prepared for them to pop up all over the plots each year as the seeds traverse the gut of deer, yotes, and hogs without damage and then land in a pile of natural fertilizer.

The Asian ones all produce fruit, the American ones need to cross pollinate and don't all produce fruit

All I know is that I used to pick them with my grandpa and they stained every piece of clothing I had on

Make sure you put something around them to protect them from the deer tearing up the small trees.

It's deer candy, I have also been told that the wood brings a pretty good price.

They drop early, normally almost done by October 1st...

persimmons work well, if you can plant them where they get a little sun...
like all other fruits, they only bear for a short time, so you need to plant some other stuff to fill the gaps (i.e. oaks, pear trees, etc.)...

i think the word is dioecious. they have male and female trees, so it is best to plant them in groups. Great wildlife trees. They typical fruit in October, so plant them where you plan to do your early season bowhunting.
