A beautiful plant for the landscape with the added benefit of producing two crops of deliciously flavorful berries each year. The first ripens mid-summer, then the plant flowers a second time and sets fruit for fall harvest. Lovely color interest in the fall and winter as green leaves turn deep reds and greens. Self-pollinating. Ripens early July and October.
