So have you (or anyone else) tried to eat one of these fruits yet? I

I've not had any fruit from mine yet but I'll keep an eye on it and see if
it produces any this year...then I'll let you know what it is like ; -)

Remember it is said that you need two plants (by repute they are
not self fertile). You have two? Right on!

Hi Huss, Nick, and the others in this thread -
Because they are not self-fertile I grew several of them (as said) -
but the results were not very good.
But, as to the fruit, I don't know if they taste good, but they sure
look very nice (just imagine a climber with very large purple
plum-like fruits, and when ripe, they split open and you see white
seeds inside.)
Maybe not especially "beautiful" - but quite an interesting show.
If you can get it.
Regards,
Roger.
