No Shoe, they're self pollinating supposedly. It was probably 4-5 years before I had fruit on mine. They bore heavy last year, and that was the first time. The two years before that, the seeds were just barely covered by a skin, and that was all I got. I think these have been in the ground for 8 years this year...

I have do have 5 of them in a row though. Pretty pretty when they blossom, I'll see if I can find a picture.

Do they root from cuttings? I'd send you some cuttings if you want.

How big is your bush? Mine are about 6 feet tall and probably 4 feet wide. Amazing since they were just sticks when we planted them.
