- 🍑 Persimmons (Diospyros sp.) are fast-fruiting trees, perfect for gardeners seeking quick results.
- 🍑 Grafted varieties begin producing fruit immediately, even on young, container-grown trees as small as 2-3 feet tall, often flowering in their first year.
- 🍑 When planted in the ground, persimmons grow into compact, space-efficient trees that reliably produce a bountiful harvest every year.

Did you know this about Hoyas?
Hoya calycina - Papua Sweet Scent
😶 Did you know this about Hoyas?
*Wax Plants: Hoyas are often called wax plants because of their thick, glossy leaves and waxy flowers.
*Sweet Scented Blooms: Their star-shaped flowers not only look like candy but also emit sweet, often vanilla-like or chocolatey scents, especially in the evening.
*Epiphytic Nature: Many Hoyas grow as epiphytes in their natural habitats, meaning they live on other plants or trees, getting nutrients from the air and rain.
*Longevity: Hoyas can live for decades and may even be passed down as heirlooms. Some specimens are over 100 years old!
*Nectar Drops: Their blooms produce tiny drops of nectar, a treat for pollinators (and sometimes houseplant owners).
*Hundreds of Species: There are over 500 species of Hoyas, ranging from tiny-leafed varieties to ones with massive leaves or even fuzzy foliage.
*Sun-Loving Flowers: While the plants tolerate lower light, Hoyas flower best with bright, indirect light or even some direct sun.
*Low-Maintenance: They’re perfect for forgetful gardeners since they prefer to dry out between waterings.
*Climbing or Trailing: Hoyas can either climb with the help of trellises or cascade beautifully as trailing plants.
*Flowering Age: Hoyas are patient! Some won’t bloom until they’re a few years old, but the wait is worth it.
*Resilient Peduncles: Never cut off the “flower stems” (peduncles) - Hoyas rebloom from the same spot year after year.
*Exotic Origins: Native to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, they thrive in tropical and subtropical climates.
*Lucky Charm: In some cultures, Hoyas are considered symbols of love and are gifted as housewarming or wedding presents.
🎥 Hoya calycina - Papua Sweet Scent was discovered in Papua New Guinea in 1913. The flower is very fragrant and can infuse your entire house in a beautiful lilac scent.
