I love this fruit! It can be eaten straight from the tree, and also used for cooking. I got this plant from my dad, it's growing so good, summer and spring really allowed it to burst with new growth. I'm hoping to get my first crop in as early as 2 years. Can't wait!

EDIT 2014 Going great, pushed through being shaded a bit from feijoa and almond, looking fine

Not doing brilliantly yet, but was dug out by neighbour and given to me, and a fair bit of root trauma. See how it goes.

UPDATE : Has pushed some new buds. Need to mulch it up and make it a little more comfy
