    A childhood favorite, we always used to eat the fruit, which is more raisin like than prune, with flat watermelon seed to spit out, this is more tree than shrub, reaching 9m.

    Shining bright green leaves are a bold red in spring as well as in fall; clusters of white flowers in spring are followed by blue-black fruit which some say are sweet enough to eat raw. Sun-PSh/Med
