If we plant asian persimmon Fuyu and ichi-Jiro (both from starkbro) close to each other, will the fruit still seedless?

Thanks

Should be, yes. Occassionally persimmons will have a male flower but I think it’s less common in kakis.

I’m not sure about either of these persimmons as I don’t have experience with them. I did want to bring up several terms to research. Parthenocarpy is fruit without fertilization of ovules which makes it seedless. Stenospermocarpy is seedless fruit but the seeds never develop properly. Why do I bring this up you ask ? Parthenocarpic fruit that get pollination develop seeds. I’m not sure if the varities you are looking at are but Google it and you might read this article https://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/persimmon.html
