I think you are right - the more I look around the net at the Japanese
persimmon, the more I like the Diospyros kaki persimmon tree.

Thanks very much, Sterling

It is definitley a persimmon. It looks more like japanese persimmon, the
leaves are entire and very shiny, whereas the native persimmon has
serrated leaves. You can tell by the fruit- the japanese are usually more
egg shaped and and the natives are usually more rounded.
