Unfortunately, I have no berries on my Danae.


I've never grown Danae, but wonder if yours needs a second plant to
increase chances of pollination? Even some hermaphrodies benefit from a
partner nearby.


No, it doesn't. I have berries some years, often in large numbers.
I can strongly recommend Danae, not least because it is superb for
flower arranging. Glossy green leaves that last for weeks indoors.
And not even bindweed will get through its root mass!

Don't bother growing it from seed, though - mine self-seeds, but
none of the seedlings grew enough to even give away in 5 years.
So I just dig them up now.
