Persimmon Apomixis?

I planted a female Morris Burton (American) persimmon about 7 years ago. I also planted a couple seedlings hoping one of them would be a male.
This spring I didn't notice any pollen shed from the two seedling persimmons, but the Morris Burton appears to have set about a dozen fruit.
As far as I know, there are no other persimmon in this area.
Is it possible for persimmon to exhibit apomixis? In other words, can a female American persimmon sometimes be self-fruitful? Anyone heard of this?
Maybe I just missed the pollen shed on one of the seedling persimmons. It pollen shed obvious on a persimmon (as it is with a pecan) or is it hard to detect?
