Can my persimmon tree be saved?

We have a persimmon tree, about five years old, that didn’t so well when we tried espalier. We want a regular growth pattern now, but the major limbs are drooping. Can the tree be saved? We’re using a ratchet for the main trunk. Thanks.

Persimmons can grow and produce fruit in some odd shapes and circumstances…

I found this one growing out over a lake and it had a good crop on.

Yours may need to be supported and pruned for the shape you desire ?
