I seem to recall that each year the plant threw off three more plants, and of course each year each one of them did the same. We had quite a plantation in no time.<br /><br />We also had cape gooseberries - which are one of my absolute favourite fruits - I've never had them since I moved to the South Island.<br /><br />xoCouscous & Consciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616224893242380904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210621398631776410.post-31927233110619082152012-02-15T15:30:46.405+13:002012-02-15T15:30:46.405+13:00Alessandra, it is amazing!
