Nothing Can Resist Its Pull
Another well-known and sought-after cultivar from Jerry Lehman’s breeding program, “Deer Magnet” definitely pulls everything around into its sweetly irresistible “magnetic” field.
Known for being the #1 choice for attracting deer and wildlife, as it was the most visited tree in Jerry Lehman’s orchard of over 1,000 persimmon trees, this cultivar is an easy choice for anyone wanting to draw deer in or improve wildlife habitat. A highly vigorous grower bearing a productive crop of sweet, smaller sized fruits (which makes it more appealing to wildlife), this tree is also a very good choice for those who are looking to personally partake of its bounty as well. Fruits ripen later in the season and stay on the tree well into December, making it an excellent choice for those who are also looking to extend their harvest season as late as possible.

Pollination Requirements: Many grafted persimmon trees are self-fertile, however, some cultivars are not. Generally a male pollinator will increase the size and quality of the harvest. It is not uncommon to have a wild male persimmon within range of your planting if it is near an area with native persimmons.

Beautiful Beginnings Persimmons have highly-developed and extensive root systems that set your tree up for success from the very beginning by helping it to anchor well and grow vigorously with proper care. Trees are also grown and shipped in a way to help them handle transplant stress better and to be able to uptake nutrients more effectively.
