Flower: The yellowish-white tubulate flowers are arranged in a dense flattened terminal (umbel-like) cyme that is up to 100mm (4in) wide and appears during spring.

Fruit: The one seeded ovoid drupe is bright red turning to black when mature in autumn and persists on the plant into winter. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively in order to maintain true to type.
