I have some, which have produced precisely as many coconuts as jostaberries. Weird - mine were heavy croppers and required no maintenance apart from keeping the hens from pinching the fruit on the lower branches. I'd have thought it would grow in Cambridge just as well as in Belgium. Though I was on heavy clay soil rather than light sand - may be relevant? I'll let you know what happens. I have just bought one for my garden in N Yorks so if it fruits then it may well be fussy about soil type or something. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
