DEF

A south African shrub used as a hedge or free standing shrub because of its interestingly formed branches and shiny deep-green leaves, offset by white and pink flowers. The planet bears a 2" egg-shaped red fruit that exudes white astringent latex unless fully ripe. The fruit can be eaten out-of-hand but does make good cranberry-like preserves.
