Interesting. How old are the plants? You in zone 8?
8A. Plants are three years old now. They do ok until the winter, then the cold kills off most of the new growth.
But like I said, I've seen a mature bush growing at the Riverbanks Zoo here in Cola about three feet tall and six or seven feet wide, full of fruit.

Well they are certainly rated for your area, surprising cold is killing off new growth in winter.
I’d suggest when the zoo re-opens you go over and find the curator over plants at the facility and pick his/hers brain for further info that might help you - those people are usually a wealth of knowledge. The plants are still young, so not bearing fruit is not surprising, but the winter dieback is puzzling to me unless you have cultivars that for some reason just aren’t adapting to your area.
