I planted one in-ground about a year and a half ago. It is about 12 feet tall now and still haven't seen ripe fruit (unless the birds are keeping it from me). However, the 4 air layers that I made about 9 months ago are in 5 gallon pots and have given me some fruit samples. So far, I prefer the flavor of my Illinois Everbearing, but it's a little early to judge.
