Must be more too it. No idea, Bob. We'll keep a closer look out this year. We sell them, so you'd think they'd cross pollinate but apparently not. There's also a very mature one in the prop. house but that has no berries, either. Interestingly, we saw hedges of them in California in autumn but those had no berries, either. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Here in the PacNW, most nandinas have, at best, little red berries that probably aren't fertile. But once -- just once -- i saw one with considerably bigger, plumper berries (about the size of a garden pea) that looked to be the real thing. Vaguely reminiscent of peonies with their black fertile seeds and coral sterile ones derived from unfertilized ovules. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [change "atlantic" to "pacific" and "invalid" to "net" to reply by email] |
