I have a couple large black gum / tupelo trees...they are great for hanging a rope swing from.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

Tall Paul,

I think there are male and female persimmon trees, you have to have both in the area or you get squat!!!

How do you go about determining the sex of a tree???

Do the leaves go bright red in the fall?

Yes. Black gum leaves turn bright red in the fall.
