It's my observation from talking with many folks living north and south the 
90C persimmon will perform well from Indiana to Florida. I've planted several 
60C and grafted 60C onto 90C here. I've never had a 60C persimmon ripen here. 
They hang on and are still green when the growing season ends here in 5b. 

I believe in many areas south both 60C & 90C are found in the wild. Maybe   
more 60 then 90 and I have no logical reason why.
