Dwarf Natal Plum Tree - Carissa macrocarpa
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 plant bears a 2" egg-shaped red fruit. The fruit can be eaten out-of-hand and also makes good cranberry-like preserves. It is a salt tolerant plant. In cooler regions the Natal Plum can be grown as a patio plant, house plant or bonsai!
