The Carissa plant, commonly known as Natal plum, is a hardy evergreen shrub native to southern Africa. It features glossy, dark green leaves and produces small, fragrant white flowers that develop into edible red or purple fruit. The plant is valued for its ornamental qualities, often used as a hedge or barrier due to its thorny nature, and thrives in well-drained soil in full sun. Additionally, the fruit is sweet and can be eaten fresh or used in jams and jellies.
