Persimmons tend to need very little nitrogen for fruit production, so something such as 0-20-20 would be a good choice. If you use a fertilizer with N, it typically just goes toward the growth of the tree's competition. I'd also suggest focusing on the female (fruit-producing) trees for fertilization. Grass control with a grass-selective herbicide may be another viable option for you to increase your persimmon yields.
