Since it is used extensively as a bonsai subject, it has to work indoors. If you are interested in fruit, pollination may be a problem. You may have to research hand pollination methods.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-78829660158841405972007-08-22T17:32:00.000-07:002007-08-22T17:32:00.000-07:00What a sweet little plant!

I was careful not to eat the seeds--I guess I'm chicken!<BR/>We do get frost here on occasion, perhaps 10 days in winter. Last winter's hard freeze (18 degrees) is rare. It happens about once in 20 years.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-31613314668787307212007-08-21T12:18:00.000-07:002007-08-21T12:18:00.000-07:00Have you ever tried the fruit yourself?
