Our local HS has a citrus tree and plant sale every so often. They sell Mirliton plants sometimes.

I've also seen them for sale at our local farmers market. I'll swing by Saturday and see if they have any.

ETA, there's a ton on Craigslist.

How are yours doing? I'm still waiting to put mine in the ground. They look like they're struggling too.
