Watering Requirements
Newly planted trees need regular watering 1–2 times a week during their first growing season to build a strong root system, while established trees are drought-tolerant and need a deep soaking only once every 1–2 weeks during summer dry spells or fruit development. Potted plants dry out quickly and require consistent watering 2–3 times a week or daily checks during peak summer heat.

Why is my Fuyu Persimmon tree dropping its premature fruit?
Young trees frequently drop a portion of their immature fruit in early summer known as "June drop". This is a natural process where the tree self-regulates its crop load, but it can also be triggered by excessive nitrogen fertilization, irregular watering, or severe heat stress during early fruit formation.
