Keith, are you saying that female persimmons without males will produce fruit, but smaller fruit?

Or do you mean that there a certain special persimmon varieties that are self fertile?

And is there any way of knowing what gender a seedling is, that you're buying?

I have numerous seedlings I have planted,4 bearing cultivars and 14 of 16 grafts survived last year.If you live east of the Mississipi,the nurseries I would recommend

Hidden Springs and Nolin River nurseries.The shipping would be less,plants arrive fresher and could offer advice as to cultivars.If I had to do it over I would consider

only female cultivars that would produce seedless but smaller fruit.
