Set the tree so the root collar sits flush with ground level, then backfill and water thoroughly. Maintain even soil moisture through regular watering sessions every 1–2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In early spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer and selectively prune any dead or crossing branches to maintain good structure and airflow. Avoid excessive fertilizing, as high nitrogen levels can redirect the tree's energy toward leaf growth rather than fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":45814252667066,"sku":"30477","price":533.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/chocolate-persimmon.jpg?v=1777509677","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/chocolate-persimmon","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
