Excuse me, but the name is, after all, Diospyros _virginiana_. Did you think maybe they might be growing in Virginia? Didn't see it on the list.
Well they are, wild and cultivated. And they were in Ohio, too.

Hello folks. As some of you know, I'm working on a sort of online non-commercial repository for everything persimmon-related. While I'm focusing on Diospyros virginiana, I'll be adding some asian persimmon content as well.

I was wondering if some folks here might lend a hand. It was an extremely important food historically. As settlers expanded throughout the US, many times, so did their plants.
