Umm, you'll need to remove "info@" before it'll work!

This bit struck me..........
Small vigorous bush that flowers during spring and summer and fruits
heavily from December until the first frost.
In NZ maybe but not in my garden!!


Pam in Bristol

someone indignantly telling me theirs didn't fruit in Bristol in December.

Thanks for the contact Sacha, I will email them over the weekend.
The American site I ordered the Pepino seed from ishttp://www.banana-tree.com/.
Pam.
I still have one small fruit on a plant in a cold house.
I will be cutting back this weekend.
