I discovered an American persimmon tree on my property with huge persimmons. This fall I plan to collect the seed to trade. Would anyone like to trade these persimmon seed for seeds of vegetables and or fruits?

Lawrence, where are you? I was just wondering if the tree might be adapted to my area also, as I was wanting a persimmon. Also, will persimmons grow from seed true to the parent? I have been told that pecans and apples won't.

As for what to trade, I will have to think on that one. I'm just getting started myself and am not sure what I have collected that you might not have already!

Would like very much to have a few seeds. Would you like to have some rare jamaican cucumber seeds. They are very prolific and make wonderful pickles. Also great in salads and anything else.

I would be interested in trading. Where are you located (zone) and do they self pollinate? I could trade you some fig tree cuttings or some hot pepper seeds. Take your pick. - Sheryl
