Just as you have found, my kaki death problems are not related to rootstock 
incompatibility.  About half of my kaki seedlings, on their own roots, looked 
great 
for five to ten years, and then died over a period of some months.  It'll be 
one or 
two trees one year, maybe one another year, etc., so it doesn't seem related 
to 
weather.
