Mark,

Yes I have one in a bucket and I've had it for several years. It is an
attractive fruit but the taste is absolutely horrible. It tastes like it
is pure poison. I'm including a picture of a fruit cut in half. This is
a rather large file, please let me know if you received it okay as
ibiblio doesn't send a copy to the sender.
