I am trying to find a nursery that sells caper trees and so far I have
had no luck. Does anyone know of a nursery that may have it in

I think I read somewhere that they are very difficult to germinate, in their
natural habitat the seeds are eaten by birds, excreted & only then will
germinate. The advice I was given was to soak them overnight in yoghurt to
simulate the acidic environment of the bird's gut before planting them.
