Key points for growing Japanese sweet persimmons

In autumn every year from September to October, base fertilizer is applied by ring or strip fertilization method in combination with intertillage. Organic fertilizer or farmyard manure is applied to young trees that have been planted for 1-2 years and appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied. Organic fertilizer or farmyard manure and superphosphate are applied to trees that are 3 years old and above. Borax and potassium dihydrogen phosphate are sprayed during the flowering period. Urea plus potassium dihydrogen phosphate is sprayed after flowering. Spray once every half a month for 3 times in a row.
