Field Notes

Description:

The crossberry is best propagated from seed, although even then it can be erratic, as usually the seed needs to pass through the gut of a monkey before germination commences. Indigenous to Southern Africa (Wikipedia). Spotted this in office building landscaping in Emeryville, CA.

Habitat:
