Since Yates is an American Persimmon, why not grow it from it's own roots, instead of grafting, why not just propagate from one of a Yates limb? So if it happens to die back, it will only die back to itself?
@Peter A persimmons as a general rule are very hard to root as cuttings or layer. That's why you don't see any nurseries offering own root persimmons. Grafting is the easiest means of propagation.
No, you'll never see American Persimmon at grocery stores since they have to be dead ripe off the tree and extremely soft. You might see at Farmers Markets occasionally or for sale on FB Marketplace from local growers, but you should pick it up that day, or within a week if refrigerated.
Not sure why people mention in their videos, about chromosome types instead of just using the names consistently, unless your a specialist trying to cross breed these it's mix matching of the descriptions.
"Yates is slammin'." That's what I like to hear while waiting on my grafts to get old enough to taste.

To me the American persimmon is the king if I wanted crunch I would eat an apple.
Are the persimmons labeled fuyu at the grocery store actually yates? Cause that's what it looks like as far as I can tell,

I have been trying to reach you. I'd like some information on 3 pomegranate varieties that you have.
