Its easy to find plants to admire this time of the year, when everything is looking so lush and green, and every plant is bursting with extravagant flowers.
Grewia occidentalis
Cross Berry
The Cross Berry (Grewia occidentalis) though, is one of those plants that seem to be easily over-looked. Its never one for histrionics. The flowers which start in Summer, are never showy, but are always pretty. Birds and butterflies are not superficial however, and know a Grewias real value and will often be found eating the 4-lobed fruit from which it derives its name.
It ranges in height from 2-5m, and will grow in Sun or Shade. It is semi-deciduous - in optimum conditions it wont lose too many leaves. Its a great tree for a small garden, and will often form more than one stem. It looks even better when planted to form a grove of Cross Berries.
