Fastest Growing Persimmons

What are the fastest growing persimmon varieties if any. Want to put more in, but do not want fence circles all over the place keeping deer off of them. I have fuyu types now and they are pretty slow growers. Are there any I could grow in a pot and they would be out of deer range in a season or two? Thanks. (astringent or not)

An upright grower would be best for you. I found that steiermark and Korea, varieties that Cliff England used to sell, grew very fast. Both are astringent varieties and it looks like I will taste them for the first time this year. I bought them from Cliff maybe 3 years ago and they are already probably over 25 feet high.
