    It isn’t very big even though it’s probably four-plus years old. It has been pruned to remain bush-like and not a tree due to space restrictions. Originally it was in a corner, but the other trees have grow too much and shaded it, so last year I had it pulled up and put into a 15-gallon nursery container. It didn’t have an extensive root system, so should be fine there for quite a while. I moved it to a different location hoping it would do better, but last year it mostly adjusted to the move (I think). If necessary, I can always move it again if it doesn’t like it’s current spot. I’m hoping this year it will actually grow and maybe at least bloom, if not produce. I can’t remember if I got it in late 2017 or early 2018, but it’s been long enough now that I thought it should have done something. Could have been too much shade though. It did have it’s own drip emitter, so it wasn’t from lack of water (or shouldn’t have been).
