Eastern Iowa - excited to finally get fruit from one of these guys. If you aren't familiar, the whole genus is worth a Wikipedia browse.

That's so exciting! How old is the tree?

Five years, so they're not behind schedule or anything, but it's been a bit! They're a bit of a gamble too, since you need males and females. Of the ones that have flowered I'm 2m/2f.
