Growing & blooming now in zone 8, north central Fl. This spot gets quite a bit of full shade most of the day. I would say it only gets a little dappled sun for a few hours.

The underside of leaves are very lightly pubescent.

There is no fruit on it yet. It almost seems to have a weeping type habit.

Ann, I looked through my book "Native Florida Plants" and it sure looks like "Sparkleberry" - Vaccinium arboreum to me. The book says it's grown more as an ornamental tree than for it's fruit.
