@buzzygems I dont think you can with the dwarf one. The standards can but they take a long time before they fruit and get big.

@buzzygems that's ok. It's just a shame it isnt from seed as I would happly very send you some. They are a lovely tree and fruit. One of the other plants I'm trying this year the fruit is ment to be like mulberrys its strawberry sticks I can save you seed and send you some of those if you like. Its not the same I know.

Yes can you message me the address I need to sent them to @buzzygems . Only a few of my mints have flowers that are ready to give seeds but I will collect them to day for you. It's a shame about the mulberry. I know you can get dwarf ones in America but dont know if they could be brought back to you. Good luck with the mulberry seed they do take a long time before they fruit.

@gjones I'm eating them fresh at the moment. There isnt enough yet to do anything with. They make a good jam/jelly and fruit gin. I have made a crumble with them as well in the past.

@gjones it's hard to describe. They aren't dissimilar but are compleatly different at the same time. I know that's not very helpful. You do have to wait for them to go completely black and want to just fall off the bush/tree. They do tend to stain your hands quite well.

I dont think the dwarf ones can @buzzygems but I'm not sure. the standard ones defentley can. The standard ones take about 5 to 10 years to fruit.
