Hi, is someone growing this?

I bet it should taste nice, it looks good:

they grow wild here, I don't think taste that good,  the red stopper tastes ok, and the Spanish stopper smells bad, they call them stoppers because if you have "the runs" they stop it lol

Looks like I need a stopper to counter the rumoured effect of my Eugenia dysenterica

Hehe: but did you tried eugenia monticola? what are red and spanish stopers?

very small and tart flavor. it's more bird food/ornamental but i have tried some.
it's also used to make a free broom.
