Ours has small berries about the size of a small olive or rose hip,

When are they on the plant Chris? I would have thought such a leafy
evergreen would hide most berries even if they were bright red, still for
something that has good foliage and scented flowers its probebly a bit much
to expect anything else as well!!


To be honest, I can't remember. I've never taken much notice of them
as they're pretty insignificant. Certainly none at the moment that I
can see, although plenty of tiny scented flowers. I think the berries
develop slowly over the winter months, but there's only ever a few of
them, nothing like the abundance of flowers, so easy to miss.
