There is one in a little garden half way up steep hill in Lincoln. It
can't get more than 8 hours sun on the longest day, but it's enclosed
by walls and very sheltered. The branches overhang the road and I have
occasionally nicked a fruit and eaten it toward christmas.

They are supposed to need large amounts of water, but this one is said
to be 200 years old and I don't suppose the orginal owner is still
watering it.
