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.
There is no fruit on it yet. It almost seems to have a weeping type habit.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
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.
