Just wait until the female persimmon is big enough 
(already in its final spot) and then graft on a male branch.

        I would assume the opposite would also work, i.e., if the tree I have
planted turns out to be male I could graft a female limb?

        Good idea, I have some to plant at my commercial building, and I may
order another bundle of 25 from the state for delivery next spring to
take to the country, but with your suggestion I would not have to wait a

which?  Whatever hahaha].

        Thank you for your excellent suggestions, everyone.  I was glad to 
see I
was not the only person interested in persimmons.  My interest was piqued
by a PBS program on Japan where they hang poles horizontally all around
their houses with persimmons hanging from the poles, after the first
