Purchased from Raintree Nursery about seven years ago, this interesting tree hasn\u2019t lived up to its potential. I think the main problem is sunlight. I have it in the darkest corner of the orchard garden and it was sunny when I first planted it there, but now there are taller trees in front of it and also extra tall vehicles in the driveway. The tree sets a few fruit each year, but they never seem to ripen fully and\/or some varmint steals them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
