Unfortunately Hachiya won’t do well in my zone 6b. 
Let me try again. JT-02 is better than Hachiya to this person. Enough where he grafted 22 of them.

Update for all. My Kassandra died to the ground and I now have a 2 year old American persimmon tree, which was the rootstock. I’m going to give it another 1-2 years of growth and then will graft either hybrid or American persimmon varieties onto it.
Lesson: Plant persimmons in the Spring.

I had the same experience in eastern KS. But most of the hybrids planted in March have done well.
