Just ordered 100 each bare root seedlings of both American Persimmon and Crabapple through NC forest service with pickup in december. Plan to plant on the northern side of main access road, down one side of each food plots, and create one area that is an orchard. Should be able to get all 200 planted in one day between me and the old man on the dibble bar. Would you trim either the root or stem end of either tree before planting? Spacing both of them about 10 ft apart, mark with landscape flags and have ordered 50 tree tubes to split between the trees. (would like to tube all 200, but not in the funds). I know persimmons may all be male, but i am prepared to try grafting once they mature. Anything important or specific to these 2 species I am forgetting?
