Very rare plant. For a number of years this species was considered extinct, until one small population was found on Puerto Rico and another was subsequently found on the island of Anegada in the Virgin Islands. The small white flowers produce an edible red fruit. Tolerates alkaline soils.
Perfect for Southern gardens, this little powerhouse thrives in alkaline soils and doesn’t shy away from tough conditions - talk about low maintenance!
The fruit, though small and not widely known, is edible and can be eaten fresh.
