A neighbor gave me a 12-inch plant 3 years ago when I admired her bush with its cherry-size red fruit. They aren't edible, but that's what they look like and they're very ornamental. She keeps a few plants that came up from the seeds that fall around her 6 foot bush. Mine's in a 4-gal. pot and is now 4 feet tall & 3 feet wide. It flowered in May and the cherries are forming now (June). The shiny green and bronze leaves make it an attractive evergreen patio potted plant. So far, no bugs or diseases bother it.
