persimmons question

Does anyone know if American Persimmons grow true to seed?
I know you'll produce male and Female plants and only females will produce fruits but I was wondering if there would be a lot of variation from the mother plant?

I don't know this for fact, but I'm getting the impression from my reading that they may not grow true from seed. The place I am reading is talking a good bit about grafting... Check it out

Damn!! That's an interesting site
I think I'm gonna have to buy a couple of those Poultry misers net year when I start putting together my coup and filling it.
I know the money would be going to a good place and to people that need it but I'm wondering if I can build one instead shit I need the cash just as much.
I think instead of trying from seed "since it'll take at least 3 years" I'll just snap some cuttings from my pops and this another wild tree I found deep in the wood both of which have awesome fruits but I like my pops a lil better because it has a slight bite of sour before the sweet hits you

I can't stand persimmons myself... Or maybe I just hate the one that is growing in my yard... Gross.
Actually, just the other day, my wife came screaming to me that there was a raccoon about to 'attack' our dogs that were chained up in the yard at the time. I ran around the house to find a raccoon that was literally sitting on his ass leaning up against the persimmon tree eating the fruits... The strange part was that it was like 2pm.... Why the heck is this thing out this time of day? I walked up to it thinking maybe it might be sick or something, and it paid absolutely no mind to me... I got a stick and actually poked it to see what was up with it, and it just looked at me like "oh crap, hey man, what are you doing here?" It was pretty funny to be honest. I eventually figured he was actually drunk or something off fermented old persimmons... Haven't seen him since though...

Yeah, DON'T buy one of those things! They are a great idea and work nicely. But the only people that buy those are folks that are just too lazy to build one... It's literally a 5gal bucket with PVC attached (you can make the PVC as long as you want and route it however is good for you). Then just drill a little hole and insert the nipple things in the PVC. You can buy those nipples for pocket change... 
EDIT- Holy crap!?!? They want $65 for that thing!!! You can make 10 of them for that price!
