Tracey, it took five years to get to that size. There were winter set-backs . . . they don't do well in cold weather. They are easy to grow from fresh seeds and cuttings. http://www.theplantencyclopedia.org/wiki/Capparis" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . Tony

Very nice! Have you eaten a bud? If you have, how does it taste? :D

hmm might have to try growing that one some day. It of course would have to be an indoor plant in the winter time, it does get fairly cold here in the winter time. How do the buds taste? or did you not try them? ;)
