Hello; thank you, Dan Nelson, for the info on the Chinese beetle. Here's
another tree question for you (or whomever has the answer!): I am going to
plant a persimmon tree, because the branch arrangement gives a dappled
shade, perfect for hostas and ferns. And, I like persimmons, so I want to
keep the tree short enough to pick from with the use of a ladder. Can I
top it off at 10-15 feet, like apple growers do with their trees? I would
hate to spur rapid growth by pruning it, when the intention is to keep it
short.
