Fairly hardy evergreen shrub or small tree with beautifully scented clusters of white flowers from August to November. The flowers are followed by round orange fruit which stays on the plant for months and is relished by birds. Although slow growing at first, this is a lovely plant for shady places and containers. Protect plants from frost and direct sunlight.
