Seemingly the only fruit produced by a fine, large specimen of this rare Chilean endemic growing in the congenial climate of Scotland's Logan Botanic Garden near Stranraer. The plant is pollinated in the wild by hummingbirds - which are not, of course, native to Scotland. However, curator Richard Baines has noted at Logan the occasional presence of the Hummingbird Hawk-moth, an insect with a proboscis long enough to pollinate Latua flowers, although such pollination has not yet actually been observed.
