Paw paw and persimmon propagation

Yearling... With promise
Say that thread title 10 times fast!

My wife got some pawpaw and persimmon fruits from a farm down the road. I'd like to save all the seeds and try germinating them. The persimmons are prok/yates cross and the pawpaws are Shenandoah/susquehanna cross.

I planted 25 wild persimmons in one general area this year, and 4 wild pawpaws planted in another general area. Would there be any issues with planting these commercial varieties out in the "wild" part of the farm or do these need to go in my orchard? Would there be any issues with these crossing with the wild ones?

We plan on eating some but I don't know that we enjoyed either of them enough to want to make it an orchard tree. I'd rather just plant them for wildlife and steal a few each year.

Any other tips on seed germination?
