The heavy frost we had in April kill alot of leaves on most of my trees but all have recovered beside my persimmon tree. I wonder if it could kill the tree does anyone know.

We had one near the house when i was growing up and in 49 years i have never seen or heard of a late frost doing as much damage as this did to the tree in my back yard. All of the leaves are dead but still on the tree. The frost put a whipping on my Maple trees but they have leaf out now and some of my wife flower too. Maybe the persimmon t tree will regrow some leaves.

Now that you say that, I'm thinking back to what people said about the extremes in temperature and extent of damage throughout the midwest this year.
Maybe it won't survive?? I hope so. But I see on different sites where they can be winter killed by extremes in weather....
Down, I sure hope the tree makes it, and your wife's perennials too...

My Persimmon tree is putting out new buds so it look like maybe the tree will survive.

Well it looks like all of my trees will make it but some were damaged. I guess that mean pruning branches this fall.

You don't list a zone DMB. It may kill off this years bloom but shouldn't kill the tree. Mountain zones have more problems than lowland.

I live in the lowland near the Mississippi River. The tree
was already leafed out when the hard freeze came. I have never seen any tree act like it did and i have had that tree for over 15 years. It is leafing out again so i figger that it will be OK.
