I've never even heard of this and don't think I've ever seen one either.
Where are you in UK?

Hi Mary, we're in north Wilts. I heard about this fruit tree from a
friend who visited N.Z. but now I discover it's from Argentina/Chile
anyway. It does get pretty cold there, and they do have frosts. I have a
couple of other Argentinian fruit trees (grown from seed) and I'm hoping
they'll flower and even fruit eventually.

Hmm, Wilts, even the north, is a bit different from Yorkshire ... a son is
in Chippenham and it always seems much warmer there when we visit than when
we left home.

Not that I mind the cold - hardened to it - but it might not be ideal for
that bush. Wouldn't know where to find one anyway :-)

Thanks,

Mary


Hi, Mary -

There are a few auctions on eBay for just seeds - I know many
countries won't allow soil from another country to enter, but seeds
are usually allowed -
