Hmm. Since they are both Asian, I wonder why my D. lotus fruits so readily while D. kaki doesn't. Maybe it isn't the lack of summer heat that stops the kaki from fruiting, but lack of sunshine. The Japanese trees I noticed were in open areas, like near farmhouses in Aomori Prefecture in northern Honshu. My tree is in a shady place.
