A book that came out this spring called The Fruit Hunters helped fuel the craze this spring.

Plants that are 3' tall that would sell for $65 a year ago went for over $200 this year and I'm one of those who was crazy enough to buy one, figuring that there wouldn't be large ones like that available again for a few years.
