Good luck. It only took 10 years for a seed I brought from Réunion in the
Indian Ocean in 1996 to grow into a fruit-bearing tree so that I could
identify it as Syzygium jambos from its flowers.

Yes, that dreary thought did occur to me. ;-( I just can't think why this
is so hard to pin down. If Nick and others are right and it is a form of
Chaenomeles, why on earth can't we find it?! It's very frustrating.
