Do Persimmons t-bud easily? Sheild-bud? Feedback would great!
T-buds work just fine for me.
I do most of mine with dormant scions grafted onto seedling rootstocks any
time afte the rootstock has initiated growth in the spring - most as a bark
graft(not really much different from a T-bud from a mechanical standpoint),
but I've done simple whip grafts and whip & tongue with success rates
similar to apples/pears.
