Live on Atherton Tablelands. Have stuck plant under shade tree. Plant growing sideways to get light. Tough grower. No water given after wet season. Still produces quite a few fruit. They are yummy but I leave them for wildlife.

I think it died due to lack of water in our drought conditions, may try it again.

Have just planted 2 of these these facing north east and they look healthy and strong. They got overrun by killer tomatoes and I think it blocked the sun and nutrients.

Great little fruiting shrub. Highly recommended as tough, attractive, long lived and low maintenance. Protect fruit from birds. Water well and feed potash late Winter if an abundance of flowers and fruit are wanted.
