| I have heard of prinsepia sinensis but have never grown it or seen it grown by anyone I know. Do you have any experience with the plant? |

| clark: Many years ago while working for a bare-root nursery in My understanding is that is available in Canada as quite winter hardy. I see U of MN still has a nice info sheet on the web about this plant. Trying to sell this plant 25 years ago was futile due to lack of interest so the nursery I was working at abandoned production on this. Not sure of anyone still growing it. For some reason it was a slow grower. Not like Prunus at |

| Clark: Sorry I cannot comment on the fruit as these were sold as small bare-root plants. I never got to taste the fruit as those Sharp thorns were the issue I highly remember. |

| I ordered a flat of them as a test crop and will let you know how they taste. I'm surprised few people are growing these. |
