Here are some details about the cuttings:
Cuttings were taken in late July
No second-year heel wood with greenwood, although I bet that would be well 
worth
trying.
Cultivar: Meader, american persimmon.

In one of Elwyn Meader's exchanges with another nursery which he sent plants 
to,
root cuttings were the method the nursery was intending to use, maybe by
layering? These are root cuttings, not rooted greenwoods I am speaking of. 
Root-grafting, since it seems grafting is acceptable to persimmons, might be a
way to get own-root behavior? Or are their roots so tender to handling this 
would
be discouraged?
