what is not true? care to elaborate?
persimmons are often close together in a patch of sorts and produce fruit just like any other persimmon tree, so the proximity of persimmons to one another does not affect its ability to produce fruit, this time of year without binoculars they are hard to see as they are green and blend in with the leaves

what is not true? care to elaborate? I believe he is referring to your original question "Do persimmon trees that are close or clumped together not produce fruit?" You do remember your question, right?... 
Of course Tomahawk, but there were so many "Not trues" in a row, that it was hard to tell.

Like TnDeerGuy said, persimmon trees are either male or female and only the females produce fruit. Any fruit on a female tree will be visible with binoculars this time of year. Persimmons often grow in groups because they sprout from a common root system. When they grow that way they will usually all be the same gender - I guess they would actually be clones (not sure about that). Just because they are clumped together doesn't tell you anything about whether they will produce fruit. Binoculars will though. Here's a link to a page on my website with some more info about persimmons including a photo of green ones. http://www.pursuithunting.com/2007/09/tree-id-persimmon.html

I know what a persimmon tree looks like. The bark is unique and there were some old ones and some orange ones on the ground. It was tough to see up through the cedars to the tops of the persimmons and i assumed they would not have fruit yet. Should have broke the binos out.
