Grew it last year and found it disappointing just like the person I got the seed from... Thorny and weird. Found the fruit dry, seedy and inedible reminded me of a Rose hip more than anything else. Interesting novelty but I won't grow it again. Fiercely sharply thorny.

Same as my experience. I even gave a couple plants to a friend who dropped me. It is a terrible plant all around. No virtues at all.
