For those who are lucky enough to be able to grow these fruit, one problem seems to be that the tree becomes to tall, so the step ladder has to come out.
Here's a way to alleviate this problem
[1] Cut the parent tree off at say 4' from the ground, put a tin over the stump to keep the water out. Throw the head away.
[2] The trunk will then start sending out branches and when these branches get about a foot long cut them from the tree and strike them in a good potting mix. Take care, it's pretty tricky, don't forget to dip the cutting into a hormone starter.
[3] Once the new tree has established, plant out and this is what you should get after only 4 months -- boy, he's a better gardener than I
and if you're real good
