This deciduous, spreading shrub with decorative, 3- or 5-lobed, mid-green leaves is best grown as against a south or south-west facing wall. In long, hot summers it will produce an abundant crop of brown, pear-shaped fruit with red flesh. These are rich and sweet and available for picking from August to September. An interesting and easy plant to grow.Position: full sunSoil: will tolerate most soils, except very badly drainedRate of growth: averageOther features: medium-large, brown fruit (August to September)Hardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Plant in a 40cm (15in) pot in the ground or in lined pit to restrict root growth - unrestricted root growth leads to poor fruiting.
