Perennial plant native to south africa with fleshy leaves showy flowers and edible fruit?
hottentot
Reply:Yes - it's a Hottentot Fig. Funny - that was one of the answers in the Sunday Express' crossword yesterday, but I think it was worded differently.
Reply:Try Carissa macrocarpa. Makes an impenetrable hedge as well. White flowers, large red fruits very good to eat and thorns suited to African conditions. Shiny green leaves.





Dennis, sorry, I am way off here. Was in a bit of a rush and did not read the question properly.
