I planted one Japanese Persimmon, Diospyros kaki, Fuyu cultivar. I intentionally planted only one because I read that if it is by itself, it will produce seedless fruit. We have many American persimmons (Diospyros virginiana) on and around our property. So here's my question - can the American persimmon cross pollinate Japanese persimmon? If so, I'll have seeds anyway in which case I'll go ahead and plant a few more Japanese persimmons. But if not, I'll stick with one tree and have seedless fruit. Anybody know?
