Fuyu! Self polinating. Zone 9b here. Tons of production!

I would add Eureka to that list. Mine are from Womacks and they have several varieties and good trees. They also have a good reputation.

thankyou, next month i will be shopping for a tree at local nursry

i was at the flea market today and sw a tree labeled "south fl Persimmon" but it did not have any leafs, so i passed, do they go dormant? even down here in fl my peach/apple lose leafs in winter but im still learning about Persimmon

They absolutely go dormant! Most of our other fruit trees have blossomed and are leafing out, but the persimmon is late.

thank you that helps alot

1. If you are borderline 9b/10a in Florida I suspect your planting season started in January. Hope you can still find them at your local fruit tree nursery.

2. Assuming you want a non-astringent variety I would have suggested a grafted Giant Fuyu (Hana Fuyu). Bigger fruit. Not sure what the best graft would be in Florida.

3. My persimmons are all still dormant. In fact, the neat thing about them is you pretty much wait until the leaves fall off to harvest.
