Well Kevin, I have had a tree (on EMLA 9) since 2000 but that's about
all. It has been growing very slowly here in Vermont at the 4a/3b boundary,
but then pretty much everything does grow slowly except the weeds. Last
year the summer was very dry and it suffered from the drought; it has done
better this year. I would guess I may see some fruit the year after
next. Good to know that it is at least interesting!

Richard
