From fall through winter umbels of small whitish flowers grow are seen which are then followed by clusters of small round black fruit.

The handsome bushes tend to be wider than they are tall, with very large leaves which create a sub-tropical effect. Plant in spring to allow time to establish before the frosts. Remove berries to increase leaf size, and water and feed regularly. Bright light - avoid direct sunshine. Water freely from spring to autumn - sparingly in Winter. Use tepid water.
