Has ANYONE seen any fruit from these vines and if so, how long did it take?

I have had mine for a year....still very small plants and no fruit. I have no idea how long before it will produce. I am sure you could contact Matt at Hirt's; he is very helpful.

I just started mine in the Living Tower and they are growing already like crazy. I hope they produce fruit as it can be tricky to get some plants to bear fruit hydroponically.

I have only had them a few months including the pot they are maybe 5.5 - 6 foot tall. There is information (youtube) that shows how to keep fruit & other trees the height most manageable for you. I have not pruned these any more yet; seems a good height and waiting for first fruits to be harvested (hoping next season) to see if it really needs to be shorter.A little research will show you that roots spread and tap root gets deeper when not planted in pot, the pot keeps is from spreading out its roots.

I'm not sure Erik. I planted mine outside but I have yet to get a flower or fruit. The plant does seem to be thriving so maybe I'll see flowers and fruit next spring.

Sorry unable to help you out. They do not supply which orchard they were picked or where they are proccessed.

I live in the Sarasota area and have been having very good luck with them. In September I didn't plant them in full sun. My cucumbers were huge. My cherry tomatoes were the size of my palm.

They are a climbing vine. When I got the seeds, I grew them in a plastic planter and never took the vine out of the planter. I did not buy these seeds this year because I did not care for this plant. It's pretty, but the red blooms only last for 1 day and then fall off. Also, beware of planting these seeds in the ground. The plant will return year after year and if you have any other flowering perennials this particular red cypress vine will grow around those plants and take them over. I did a google search about this plant and people complained about that and said they never wanted this red cypress vine in their flower gardens again. It would do better in a planter or terra cotta pot.

I thought this was self-fertile, but it has yet to produce fruit. Looks nice though.I have had it for quite a while now.

In my opinion, it will takes years of growth for the flowers to smell upon walking up to the vines. I've only had them planted one summer, but I have smelled a huge quantity of this vine at once, and it is a *beautiful* smell. Just don't expect it for another 2-4 years, I would expect.

I probably wouldn't suggest that. I believe these are to grow outdoors since they are vines.

I am sorry, but I haven't planted them yet and do not know any more about them than what it says on Amazon. Good Luck.

We didn't and are still harvesting nice strawberries. These plants are very nice!

They're supposed to be good to eat raw or to pickle; however, ours never did grow at all. We planted them mainly as a vine to cover a trellis at a preschool, hoping that the kids could also pick the fruits. But, like I said, they didn't grow at all--and our tomatoes, cabbages, blackberries, sunflowers and other plants are thriving, so it wasn't bad weather/bad gardening. Maybe just not suited to our area?

Sorry, haven't planted it yet. I shipped the order to Africa. Will let you know when I can.

I certainly can't address the question re: timing. What I CAN attest to is -- I have never received a shipment of the Traverse Bay Dried Cherries that was anything but THE Softest, Sweetest most wonderful dried cherries imaginable! At one point a couple years ago, there were NO MORE CHERRIES! Had to wait until the new season... It wasn't easy, believe me!

hello I am not quite sure our plants have gone into "shrub mode" they have grown a whole bunch and we have trimmed them but still have not even bloomed im not sure how long it takes but they are supposed to produce fruit in all zones, im sure they will produce in Fla. so good luck if you still have a problem im sure Hirts could answer them better than I could.

I bought them & planted them in a pot in mid October. They came up in about 1.5 - 2 weeks with the grass like leaves. They still have not bloomed yet & I guess probably will not this year. When winter really sets in, I'll put the pot in my unheated garage & see what next year brings.Dave B
