I have not seen trees of Asian persimmon growing taller than 20 ft in India.
We use D. lotus as rootstock.

Subject: [NAFEX] How tall do these 3 get: Asian persimmon; Japanese
Raisin-tree; & Che (Cudrania)?
Group:
In a life-time, how tall do the following 3 fruit trees get, if
intentionally unmanaged - in the north east:
1. Asian persimmon (Japanese Kaki persimmon) - Diospyros kaki?
2. Japanese Raisin-tree - Hovenia dulcis?
3. Chinese che (Che-berry; Mellon-berry; Storehousebush) - Cudrania
tricuspidata?
For Kaki persimmon, I suspect 25 - 35'
For Raisin-tree (based upon champion trees) I suspect 60'
For Chinese che I suspect 35 - 40'
