Persimmon

A few times I have tried to grow a Persimmon tree without success. I think the first time I didn't wait long enough for the seed to germinate and then gave up and threw it away.
Just recently I discovered a video blogger called the Kiwi grower and learned the secret from him. It seems you I needed to put the seed in a wet folded paper towel and then a zip lock plastic bag then put in a warm place and wait 3 to 4 weeks.
In the middle of December I did this and place the bag next to the chimney stack in my room. After 4 weeks the seed had still not germinated but was quite fat, so I waited and after about 6 weeks there was a root about 1/2 an inch long. I carefully place the seed in the the pot you see in the picture and put it back by the chimney. After a further 2 weeks I saw a shoot emerging, I then put a plastic bag over the top like a tent and placed it in a window. As you can see from the photo it has progressed quite nicely and I am very happy with the results so far :)
