However, it does not tolerate flooding and sometimes tolerates a high water table or short-term drought.To ensure good ripening of the wood before the cold weather, as well as for a better harvest, persimmon should be pinched at the ends of the shoots at the end of July and fertilized twice a year: in early June with plant compost, and in late summer with wood ash in small quantities so as not to burn the roots (half a glass of ash per bucket of water).
