OT Where to buy an Asian Persimmon Tree in PA???

I've looked at quite a few local nurseries for an Asian Persimmon Tree (preferably Hachiya) with no luck. 

Do any of you know of a nursery in PA (or South Jersey) that carries them?

Thanks! :)

I feel your pain.  I have searched nurseries in my part of Ohio to no avail.  I think there is just not enough demand up here.

FWIW, I plan to buy one in the fall from http://ediblelandscaping.com  or   http://http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com

I just saw Hachiya at my local HomeDepot this afternoon and almost bought one. They looked really healthy. I have a fuyu I bought from Martha's Secrets (eBay) early this spring, but it hasn't bloomed yet. Looking forward to next year. 

I'm jealous, Rick! Those Southern Home Depots really have a much better selection when it comes to edibles. 

I vaguely remember seeing an Asian persimmon at Stauffer's of Kissel Hill.  I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Hachiya though.

I saw Holly Days Nursery in Horsham had some Jiro Persimmon trees a few weeks back. There's also an Asian store at 16th and Washington that carries them (same center as Big 8 market).

Check your local Walmart. Last week Walmart (Texas) had a Hachiya on sale. I bought a 6 foot tree for $17 (Original price $35).

Bass (member here) sells some persimmons. Check out his site "trees of joy".  not sure which varieties he has.

I have some persimmon trees, not many left at this time.
