Ours has small berries about the size of a small olive or rose hip,
green with some reddish streaks IIRC, but pretty insignificant. Never
tried eating them though, if that's what Steve means.

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.

(sorry for the late reply: Virgin newsgroups server seems almost
impossible to get into at the moment)
