Yes. In a pot. Last winter damaged it a fair amount, and I have had
to cut it back, but previously it came through with no trouble.

No flowers :-(

I have one, grown from a pip over 20 years ago, which has been in a
pot outside for at least 10 years, with no winter portection other
than standing by the house wall. It's a bit "bonsai-ed" but I've not
cut it back this year. No flowers here either. I gues it needs a
conservatory for that.

I've seen the double flowered one going gangbusters in Jersey but never
here. I've never seen one fruiting here.
