Commonest way to make such multi-variety trees is to grow them large enough to have a trunk, then topgraft in limbs of various varieties. Growing a persimmon to that size in a nursery would make it extremely hard to transplant. Persimmons are hard enough to transplant as it is. They either need to be started and sold in pots, or have the taproot undercut in the nursery a year before transplanting to develop a fibrous root system.
In short, such trees would have to cost more than most people want to pay.

Some nurseries sell apple trees with several different varieties grafted
to them so wouldn't it make sense for nurseries to sell persimmon trees that
are grafted male AND female? Has any nursery thought of it? Does any
nursery sell such trees? If so, I'd buy one.
