Robert,
A number of mail order nurseries carry this plant.  I didn't write down
the name of the wholesale nursery, but it was somewhere in Oregon.  If
you want to ask the retail place I was at directly, here is a link to
their webpage, which has e-mail and phone contact info on it.  The tag
on the plant said Chilean Guava, and then in small print it said Ugni
molinae.

Do the plants have a tag with the grower or wholesale
place on it.  I would like to give them a try as well.
