Evergreen bushy shrub, usually to no more than 3m and can spread to
6-8m and can be trained as a hedge. When mature is somewhat hardy
and able to survive short frosts but may defoliate in prolonged
cold spells. It has pretty white-pink flowers in abundance that
produce oblong berries, which ripen from green to yellow, then red.
Best of all, the berries can be steeped in water to make a
refreshing, lemonade-like drink.
