Kaki persimmons can be grafted to Kaki, American and D. lotus.
Some info on above link.
It is recommended not to graft non astringent Kaki varieties to rootstock seedlings of astringent Kaki varieties. Mainly fruit quality reasons.
Not sure how this relates to D.kaki on D. virginiana ( American ).
Are American Persimmon fruit astringent ? The fruit is not seen much in Australia.

I can verify that all American types are astringent. Some American persimmons are less astringent than others. People who favor American persimmons say the Asian types are bland in comparison.

Diospyros lotus is compatible with all astrigent D.kaki and with non-astringent D.kaki -JIRO, but generally speaking D.lotus is incompatible with pcna type kaki. The incompatibility can be overcome by using an astringent type kaki as interstock.

The persimmons in Florida are small and astringent, when ripe they taste like weird cinnamon pumpkin.
