I have one, but it has never born a flower, much less fruit. It is
more like a bush, with no main stem. Sometimes it dies back over the
winter, sending up new stems in spring, and sometimes the stems
overwinter okay and sprout new leaves. It is wimpy and needs to be
staked. The stems never grow taller than 2 or 3 feet. Big
disappointment. I was really looking forward to some orange flowers
on it.
