Some time ago we had a discussion about whether or not these would grow
*and* ripen in Britain. AFAIR, the general opinion was that they would
not.
However, on the uk.food group, someone has posted a link to an interesting
article: http://tinyurl.com/36htzv

That is fascinating. AFAIK, the decorative ones that we are most familiar
with, do not produce much worth getting your grannies opium pipe out from
under the stairs for.

My old granny would have been most indignant at the very suggestion she had
an opium pipe! A nice brass toasting fork, now......
