I would suggest you ensure you get a self fertile grafted variety - don't waste your time with seedlings - take too long and usually bitter skinned.

I know that Vernon, Ortega and Lemon Gold are definately self fertile. Regarding your climate read as many articles as you can on them and check out what varieties people in your area are growing and fruiting.

Some varieties are smaller - eg Vernon which I have fruiting in Albany WA that is a cool cool climate. Will post an article link on varieties when I find it.

By the way I am after seeds of a tree called the Moringa or Drumstick tree if you hear of anyone that can supply them over there I would appreciate any info.

More likely to be marcotted than grafted
