It is hardy to zone 5 and untroubled by pests or diseases. It is in flower from May to June, and the seeds ripen in October. The flowers are self-fertile.
The edible fruit can be eaten raw or cooked. Some varieties can be up to 16cm long and 4cm wide. Of variable quality, some forms (with orange skins) are exquisite with the flavour of banana custard.
Prefers a rich loamy soil with plenty of moisture and a sunny position. Young plants should be given some protection for their first year or two.
