I have a couple, one in the ground and one in a pot, <3yo. Both survived winter and came out of dormancy recently and starting to put on good growth. I'm located about an hours drive north of Sydney just east of the F3. Minimum temps here +4.5deg C.

Isolated trees seem fine in Brisbane. There is a nice one growing as a street tree across the road from Bunnings at Stafford that gets plenty of fruit. Funny thing is though, that even with a super thick skin fruit fly, or something else, still gets into them!

Daleys nursery sells plants. You have reached the customers Q&A forum which sometimes kindly shares seeds or plants between fellow members. I can advise you to get seeds of many rare fruits from www.fruitlovers.com that is in Hawaii. Their perishable seeds are sent fresh off the tree.
