Thanks, Sparks, another nutritious tree for my garden! I like the idea of growing greens that you can harvest from an upright tree, as you don't have to bend down to cultivate them, like spinach... also, they are evergreen, so would not have to be re-planted after a few weeks.

I found another couple of links

(with a recipe)
and

This one tells you about how you have to harvest the leaves carefully, as the plant can be irritating.

I'd love it if someone would start one of these for me now, so it would be growing when I get there in a month or so! - going to be sooo healthy this winter... Oh, and Linda, let's plant one outside of the fence, so anyone can help themselves.
