I grew one a few years ago in the conservatory. It grew fruits without any apparent pollination as there were no male flowers!

It was sown very early, and by the time the frosts had passed, the thing was taking over so I had to leave it inside.

I grew some in the greenhouse a few years back and they were prolific.  They took over everything though and there was hardly room to walk.

A friend on our Allotments ahs hers outside and it has set three, mine is in the poly but went in late and hasn't flowered yet!

We're growing them in a polytunnel too and have to keep moving them as they tend to take over and entangle themselves into anything close.

Have one large fruit and a few small setting on the earliest planted but nothing yet on the ones that went in a week or 2 later.
