@juliesgarden there lovely to grow....& easy as long as you sow seed fresh from fruit, as seed is recalcitrant. I'm hoping to graft to these when their older 👍

@KathyB I grew these from fruit I bought, surely you're allowed to get your 5 a day???? And accidentally drop the seeds in a pot.....😉😉

@drnicko Well if I grew it from seed it wouldn't be a tree to start with right? ;)
