Seven years ago when I was in Boston, you used to be able to get them at 
the Star market in Porter Square, Cambridge.  They were grown in 
California so I guess there at least *used* to be some level of 
commercial production in the US.

In the UK, locals do not know what they are but there are a few specialist
nursersies that sell them.  We bought one earlier this year and it only
flowered at the end of July (in Oxford).  I guess that if the time from
flowering to fruiting is really 5-7 months, we're going to be out of luck
as far as fruit goes!
