Lucky, I think it is the Broussonetia papyrifera and I have never seen the fruit either. I just saw the tree/bush in the town of Yoshino. I asked if it is the same as they feed to silk worms and was laughingly told it wasn't. I have never seen it in this Country, or didn't recognize it if I did.
I'll bet you've seen it, but just didn't recognize it.

It's largely a nondescript shrubby thing with dark, dull green, somewhat fuzzy leaves. Nothing to really distinguish it as a great landscape plant, and I can't really imagine why someone would plant it, as such, other than as a screen along a property line.
It's on the noxious weed list in some states.
