Natal plum
It is a shrub native to tropical and southern Africa. Natal plum produces shiny, deep green leaves and snowy white flowers whose perfumed scent intensifies at night. They bloom for months at a time. The ornamental plump (size approximately 4x5 cm), crimson fruit appears in summer and fall (autumn) at the same time as the blooms. In moderate, coastal areas the fruits appear through the year. The fruit can be eaten out of hand or made into pies, jams, jellies, and sauces.
