    They grow quite big and their fruits are small, about the size of a 20c piece, so people probably don’t notice them unless their brain already has them filed away as a food source. The last lot I had were from the side of the road.

    Turns out Aucklanders are not allowed to plant them any more!

    That’s interesting about drinking the seeds. Wonder if it’s nice.

      Ah, well I’m back to thinking it’s a range thing. They probably can grow all over the country, but perhaps they spread themselves in the warmer parts of the country so you’re far more likely to see them than in areas they have trouble spreading.

        Come to think of it when I lived in Wellington I hardly saw any.
