Flower: The crateriform flowers have 4-small sepals and 4-spreading rounded white petals with a central cluster of creamy-white stamens, with pale yellow anthers. They have a long pedicle and appear solitary or in a small cluster along the stems or terminally from late winter to spring. 

Fruit: The variable fleshy pendant berry has a persistent calyx and contains 1-2 seeds. They are green turning red and maturing to dark purple or black quickly. When eaten it has a sweet flavour tasting similar to a cherry. The small seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
