The flowers are produced throughout most of the year ; they are 1 – 5 cm diameter, with a five-lobed white or pink corolla, solitary or borne in clusters ; some have a fragrance reminiscent of Gardenia.
The fruit is a plum-shaped berry, red to dark purple-black in different species, 1. 5 – 6 cm in length, and containing up to 16 flat brown seeds.
The fruit are edible but tart, and taste like a giant cranberry, though some also taste overtones of strawberry or apple-like flavour, and rich in Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
