When I view the kaki seed alongside 'wild' D. virginiana, I see that the kaki seed is of a similar shape, but larger and flatter. The kaki seed is 21 mm long compared to 18 - 19 mm of teh virginiana. Kaki is 14mm wide compaed to 11mm of the virginiana seed From ehilborn at mebtel.net Wed May 1 22:45:20 2019 From: ehilborn at mebtel.net (Elizabeth Hilborn) Date: Wed, 1 May 2019 22:45:20 -0400 Subject: [nafex] [NAFEX] Hybrid D. kaki?
