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