Planted one a few years back, I actually got it with some sort of fuzzy white fungal disease, but it managed to completely beat that, and this year I have little baby fruits developing! I hadn't seen any flowers, but I never walked to the tree and checked. Oh and this proves edible landscpaing's claim that their variety is male-and-female flowers on same tree.
I'm quite excited to try this obscure fruit that you can't even buy anywhere. Even in China it isn't that common.
Now, if I can only find some large square netting instead of the long strips, to protect the berries from birds and squirrels (like 20' x 20' instead of 4' x 75')
