They don't take long to fruit... but most need a male and a female plant... ther is one self fertile one but I can't remember its name...
Unless you are deep south or have a good south facing wall you'll be lucky to geta crop..
;D

Jenny is  self fertile but it still doesn't do as well as a pair.

We've got an allegedly self-fertile one that has been in the garden for about 3 years now.  Lots of leaves and kind of pretty pinkish furry curly stems but no sign of any fruit or even a flower yet.   :'(
I think we got it from Bakkers but I can't be sure. :-\
I was quite optimistic as we are deep down south and someone else at work gets buckets of them from her 3 plants.
