I've only dried native persimmons, and found that while it is very difficult to remove the seeds from the fresh fruit, they pop out very easily from dried fruit.  I learned just to squash the fruit and then pop the seeds out of  each one before eating it.  Cutting down the nearest male tree can reduce the number of seeds.... though if it's the ONLY male in the area that could create another problem....    Donna
