I live in kenya and would like to try growing of persimmons. how can I get the seeds or seedlings.
Persimmon seeds are easier to grow and may be easier to acquire. If any persimmon fruits are sold near you, it's possible to plant the seeds from these. Otherwise, if there is a university with an agriculture program in your area, or perhaps gardeners' or farmers' groups, they may be able to provide them or put you in contact with someone who can. Good luck.
I try to grow persimmon tree from seed, but my seedlings leaves started to turn yellowish and brown spots appeared on them. How can i solve this problem?
This could be due to one of a few different things. The first thing that comes to mind, is an over-watering issue, which would lead to infections with these symptoms. This can be remedied with wettable sulfur, since it is not too far along.
They second thing that could have happened, would be the pH of the soil being off, and usually too high. This is if you know for a fact that overwatering was not the issue. If this is the case, then the pH being off would cause the appearance of deficiencies. Dolomitic lime will help in this case. As would a small amount of wettable sulfur, or iron sulfate.
The last and probably least likely in this situation would be an actual Iron, magnesium, and calcium deficiencies. Fortunately, my remedies, as described, will correct these issues anyway.

Your commercial trees may have a parthenocarpic phenotype. This, simply, means that the fruit will be seedless. This website offers information into why this occurs: https://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/persimmon.html
