Absolutely love this fruit. Love eating it and making it into a drink.

I am hoping I can get it to grow down here in Melbourne. Let's see how it survives winter.

Growing: In a Pot

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Pollination: Self Pollination

Question: Again, another one I don't water often. I doesn't seem to like being too wet. Prefers it drier and lots of sun. I am finding it often loses its leaves and grows new ones. I hope it can last the winter, if it does I'll plant it in the ground this spring.
