Fruitless Hachiya

Question

We live in San Mateo, CA and have a 30 year old Hachiya Persimmon tree. It is beautiful, shows no signs of disease, and has always produced a lot of fruit without any special care. This year it had no fruit/not even one. There is another Hachiya a few blocks away and it is fine. Any ideas on why it is fruitless and what we should do to ensure fruit next year?

Answer 1

It may need some fertilizer if you haven't been adding any nutrients, particularly phosphorus. These articles should help:
