I might be brave enough to do that tomorrow, as I don't eat the lotus
fruit, and I don't think the birds or various furry fruit eaters like
it much, either. I will have to find a new home for the vines that
use the D. lotus as their support - as I recall, I have one female
kiwi, and Clematis montana on it, and maybe honeysuckle too. Moving
them over to a bigleaf maple should put a bit more sunshine on the
shaded kaki.
