Here is an easy food plant to grow. I just have one shrub of this prolific berry plant and most years it produces more than berries than I can use. The plant is attractive on its own, with good foliage and interesting flowers in April and gorgeous, jewel-like berries in the summer. The berries have a tart, acidic flavor and a large pit, but they are still worth eating or putting in smoothies and desserts. The berries have a lot of lycopene, which is a health booster, along with vitamins A and E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
