they are notorious for being hard to grow and propagate. They require an understory spot with just the right amount of shade and sun, and sandy loamy soils. In other words…they do best in the woods.

If you do have a spot like that, give them a try. You can buy grafted cultivars online that will give you a better chance. I have a spot picked out that I’m going to get a load of sand dumped on, and then cover it with leaves and mulch and let it age for a few years, then plant a patch

The fruit is worth the effort

I planted three last year in partial shade in my front woods. They just leafed out an seem to be doing well so far. I'm sure it'll be a few years before they fruit though. The trees are young and lanky.
