I have a book somewhere on growing pips and things I will dig it out abd get back to you
Got it and I quote.
Although most persimmons are seedless,the smaller varieties are more likely to bear seeds.The seeds are dark brown,oblong and at least 1/2 " long.Do not be misled by the tiny black seeds found in the tip of the fruit,these are abortive seeds and will bot grow.
To start extract seeds from fruit.Stratify them in the fridge,this should provide good germination.To stratify fill half a plastic container with moistened peat moss,scatter the seds on top,'cover with plastic bag and put un fridgr,Check weeklyto be sure the peat moss is still moist After 6 -8 weeks plant 1 seed per moistened Jiffy pellet or small pot in sterile soil and cover with plastic bag, germination should be about 2 weeks.
Once the seedlings have sprouted,remove the bag and place in light.They grow best in a southers or western exposure
Young seedlings are ugly duclings,stem is first,shaped like a loop within two weeks it should go straight and the first leaves shoul appear,when 3 inches high repot in 4 inch pot .
When iy is afoot high,pinch back to encourage it's natural round shape,they must be carefully watered and not allowed to dry out. Indoors they will not flower but they can become sturdy littlt trees,put plants out during the warmer monthd,when they drop their leaves in the fall,bring inside and place in a cool place or garage. Hardy to 10f
Hope this helps, good luck and sorry for th typhos I am in a hurry
