Title: Re: [NAFEX] multiple persimmon cultivars on one tree?

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I had an own-rooted Fuyu for some years.  One year I was given scions of several new Asian persimmons and I grafted them on the Fuyu.  After a couple of years, the tree developed the same symptoms as the so-called Kaki decline - shoots turned black and such, and the whole tree eventually died.  Virus?  I don't know.
