I've heard they are easy to grow and I see them growing wild all over. I buy the best plants but probably haven't taken care of them as well as I could have, i.e., not enough sun, too dry, etc. Will try again this year with new plants in the sunniest areas, with good soil, fertilizer, etc.

As far as grafting, I just mentioned that in case you were interested in other fruit trees, etc.
