LOURENS TRADING CC
The fruit consists of twin berries, although sometimes only one develops, they are shiny green until fully grown and then turn to a shiny, bluish black colour. There is usually one quite large seed in each berry and the dark, plum-coloured flesh is very juicy.Bright green, rather shiny leaves form an attractive background to the star-shaped, fragrant flowers. Closed flower buds are pink or red tinted. The corolla lobes of the large, single flowers are pure white when open, and the corolla tubes are coloured pink/maroon. The relatively large (40 mm across) flowers are borne in profusion from early spring to summer, August to January. They have a delicate perfume during the day that becomes markedly stronger in the evening and at night.This is a large, scrambling, mostly evergreen plant that makes a fine show in the garden. If encouraged, it will climb up to 3 m, although not very strongly, and is best used as a shrub of up to 1.5 m high. It is medium to fast growing.
