Narrative
Fruit ripens on this plant from late August until a hard freeze. Green fruits have been seen late October. Fruiting plants from 1.5-2.4 m tall. Foliage glossy and dark green. Fruit ranging from dark blue to black, 0.4-0.8 cm in diameter. Location in crevices suggests drought tolerance. No visible winter injury or insect damage. Minimal disease problems: Ophiodothella spp., which doesn't appear to affect the plant; some fruit appeared to have mummyberry (Monilinia spp.). For best germination of dry seed, Ballington (NC State) and Lyrene (U. of Florida) suggest soaking the seeds for 24 hrs. in 500ppm GA4+7 prior to germination.
