If your concerned about the fruit production just get a male tree then it's size wont matter. David

No, to me, doesn't look right. A bit too "pointy" for one thing. Also, the vibrant green stem looks "wrong" as well. For my money, it looks a whole lot like undivided leaves on Sassafras. Does the wood have a fragrance to it, how about the leaves when crushed? Spicy scent would indicate sassafras.

Charlottel, I noticed you posting a post inside my own. There are two problems you might want to consider. When you post inside someone else's post, you are not likely to get much response and you can't get automatic email notification of replies. More importantly, asking for additional money besides the SASE is against Gardenweb rules. Technically, you would be selling your seeds. This could result in you loosing your Gardenweb membership.

My fruit are tiny and clear orange. I forget the nursery I got them from, but tiny they are. Nonetheless, I would never consider them as an ornamental because in the years it gives a big crop, the ground under the tree is covered an inch thick with decaying fruit. I am no priss, and we don't live in a house maintained as a museum, but from Dec to Feb, I try not to walk where the Persimmons fell. Add to that their propensity to grow a forest of trees from the roots, up to 50ft away, and you have the makings of a thug. Personally, I think the popping up of the trees all over the place is the worst thing about the tree. Rotten fruit I can deal with.
