Male or Female Persimmon (Flowers)

[TreesuitSC]

I tried to research and determine if these are male or female flowers. I am not sure. What are your thoughts?

I would guess them to be male, based on size and being clustered together.

Yes, they are male. Female have one flower per stem and female have multiple. There are some "perfect" trees that have both male and female but they are pretty rare.
