Novelty citrus id
« on: June 17, 2017, 10:40:08 PM »


I am wondering what this bush is. The fruit is sweet, maybe 3/8", 1cm, with greenish citrus like seeds that are similar to the seeds of lime berry. As in the photo the fruit is black and does not taste like lime berry although there are similarities. The small bushes are about .5m tall.
Thanks, Peter

Here's another photo with more detail. Seems like someone should know this plant.
Thanks
