Hi Nan
Well, they certainly do in NZ. However, as we are so far ahead of you in
time it is already a sleep behind us and I am writing this monday
morning to say mine was a very happy day with visits from two sons, a
long phone call from the third and a loving card and present from my
daughter who lives way down in South Island.

I haven't grown one of these for almost fifty years and mine was anyway
a purchased plant, but I seem to recollect it started to fruit after
about a year when barely above my head. I suspect a seedling might take
a bit longer to settle down.
