hi 3d, I bought 1 of these exactly a year ago, and was quite small, and hasn't put on much growth this year, but it did flower, and has produced berries, but nowhere near as many as yours, so I was just wondering how long you've had yours, [mine was a 3 litre pot from Coblands], Derek.

It is quite amazing, 3d. The colour seems unnatural

Thank you Hywel it can grow to 3m Hywel in the USA it said it can fully grow to 9ft but have read to cut and tidy up after berries have gone and to keep it small.

I ve not had this long Derek bought it at the local garden centre it likes well drain soil loam and to be planted in the light. I hope yours improves in time.

Hi 3d, I have it in the right conditions, maybe it's the difference in temperature, mine is a very exposed garden in the pennines, so a lot cooler than where you are, should be better next year, Derek.
