Hi Chris, Well keep at it! I had one plant produce one mature fruit unnoticed by me in the gully below our house, and I've been pulling out seedlings for about ten years since then. The seed obviously lasts a good while in the soil, and has some sort of delayed germination mechanism. I just pulled out another 5 or 6 a couple of days ago. Can't believe how long it is taking to get rid of. There's no other local seed source that I'm aware of.
