There is also a dwarf version of this plant. This picture was taken at Marie Selby Botanical Garden, Sarasota, Florida in July. It shows part of a mass planting of the dwarf cultivar. The fruits are about the size of ripe currents, maybe 1/4-inch in diameter

Large plant that we never water. Great for fence line because of itchy branches!
