Hallo Lon,
at Europe we have different Kaki cultivars (Diospyros kaki) with 
different pollinating possibilities.
In some cases the non-astringency is dependent on the point of pollination.
The pollinated fruit is called “Vanilla-Kaki” because you can eat is 
immediately, but it has many seeds.
The non-pollinated is astringent first! See e.g. PVNA cultivars:

PCA-cultivars (Pollination Constant Astringent)
PVA- cultivars (Pollination Variant Astringent)
PCNA- cultivars (Pollination Constant Non Astringent)
PVNA- cultivars (Pollination Variant Non Astringent)

ciao
hans
