Now some are old enough that she gets fruit from them!

She lives in central Florida so it's warm enough for the plants to survive there outside. The full grown plants are big - 4-5 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, so she planted them in a group at the corner of her house. They really are attractive, so even if they don't produce much fruit, they look good.
