Default sumatrana x 'Gran Nain' cross

Has anyone here grown the sumatrana x 'Gran Nain' cross that Agri Starts has listed and if so do you have any for trade or sale?

I have one, but it has not fruited yet. Some sources say edible, some say not. The leaves are spotted on top, and full red underneath. Mine has about 4' of trunk so far, and very slender. I have had a couple pups, but none right now. Highly ornamental.

I bought it from someone else, as a tissue culture, and I assume that they probably bought it from Agristarts, but do not know for sure.
