Thanks Scot,
I purchased the remaining two plants that she had at the time. Here's what they looked like:
Though I thought they were pretty small, at least the roots were already growing.
Here they are, potted up:
These came from Pasadena, TX. The Seller does not really know exactly what they are, but she thinks they are Texas Star based on her research through the internet. Pictures of the fruits resemble CA Gold and Orinoco. Grows 6-8 feet. Claims they're hardy through USDA Zone 6 with some protection. No protection needed from Zone 7 and up. We'll see. I'll plant some of them outside next year. This winter, they'll be in a cold greenhouse (just above freezing).
