I'm going to plant all 25 seeds in pots and if any more than a couple come up I'll give the plants to friends and neighbors.
Is anyone growing these?

I grow velutina. They are stunning - my flower and fruit at 4-5 feet in just a few months - here cold kills them to the ground but they will grow up in the spring and fruit by August. The fruit is bright magenta and really very pretty but effectively inedible; the flavor is okay but there are so many seeds it's not possible to eat, at best you're really just sucking the scant bit of flesh off the seeds. It's literally almost all seed.
