After Persimmon Seed Stratification: Next Steps for Germination

After 90–110 days at 40°F in moist peat, seeds need warmth. Move outdoors or to greenhouse. Sprout when soil stays above 60°F. After first true leaves, feed half-strength 12-12-12 every 10 days until 6–8 inches tall. Then plant in full sun with composted manure. Use fruit tree fertilizer spikes in year two. Protect from deer with chicken wire.
