Basically it grew an entire summer in the pot, I put it in the basement over winter under fluorescent lights and it didn't grow there. Flower came at end of next summer. Put it back in the basement and fruit did not develop. I think the light was not good enough and the temperature too low (mid 50s F). I lost the plant completely this last winter because my lighting wasn't good enough. I have upgraded my lighting so I may get another one and try again.

It was in a 16in pot BTW. However I would recommend one bigger for fruiting. maybe a 20in barrel.
