I noticed there's over 200 varieties of persimmon, that's crazy and you can get a new type from seeds. Good Luck and I hope they sprout for you. I saw a wine blog earlier that said out of a few hundred seeds only three sprouted. That's a bad average for an untrue tree that might not be worth eating in 5 years when it produces. That doesn't bother me, I started grapefruit, orange and lemon seeds to grow with the same possibility of a mutt plant/tree.
Mine are a "wild" variety, I'll grab more seeds this week.
