Also known as Gin-berry and Orangeberry. Glycosmis pentaphylla produces small, sweet, translucent, pink fruits throughout the year. Native to tropical Asia and Australia. They will grow in the same conditions as citrus. Hardy to at least the mid-20 degree range. Mine have taken 8 hours at 27 degrees with no damage at all. Grows only about 10-12' tall.
Individual fruits are about the size of a pea. You would need several plants to get enough fruit to do anything with but they are a delicious snack right off the tree when wandering through the garden!
Buy seeds of this plant.

Jim This plant sounds interesting.
Probably something I could grow here. Always good to hear about a new plant which is edible
cheers Ian
These are very pretty. I knew I hadn't run across them around here after reading the hardiness temperatures. Oh well, I can enjoy seeing yours.
Beautiful.... the pictures and words were a joy to see and read... :O)
