If it is a persimmon, that is the smallest most non persimmon looking one in the world. Oak gall as mentioned above.

It's not a persimmon. It looks like an Oak gall like the others have mentioned. Here is what I have found about them.

Oak Apple Galls

These are large (1- to 2-inch diameter) rounded growths that are filled with a spongy mass. A single wasp larva is located in a hard seed-like cell in the center. Galls are usually found on the petioles or midribs of leaves. They will dry to a brown, paper thin wall. Removing and destroying galls before they dry and wasps emerge from a hole may help to reduce the infestation. While large and spectacular, they cause no measurable harm.

Never seen this before. But the oak Gail image is exactly what it looks like.
Only one though .
