The first thing that stands out is the beautiful plant! The large, serrated leaves have a purple hue and the stems are heavily covered with spines. The small white flowers are the harbinger of the deliciously juicy fruits. The fruits turn orange when ripe and are covered with short hairs. The green pulp provides a popular sweet and sour juice. The plants can overwinter frost-free and will grow vigorously again after annual pruning!
