Well, that's 2 strikes...the greenhouse is small and filled with cactus all winter except for a small corner where I was able to fit three 5 gallon containers and some small transplants, so a 4' diameter would pretty much use up my space for one plant that would give me one fruit every other year?!

Think I have to consider moving to a tropical location.
