Bought one from a local nursery, kept in a pot now for nearly 3 years. It went through several phases of growth and then die-back, sometimes to the point where I thought it had gone completely. At one stage I cut several slips from the main plant at the base, and put these in a jar of water, where they proceeded to strike roots. At the same time I pruned the main stem back by half, more because I thought it had died than any clever ideas about increasing its growth. This year the main stem has produced about a dozen small fruit from side shoots, which have been very sweet eaten straight off the stick. The cuttings have also shot up so I’ll prune these back hard when the leaves fall and plant the whole lot into the garden in a sunny spot. Fingers crossed, next year I might get more than a dozen berries. I recommend you persist with them, even when they look like they’re dead.
