I love this plant, "Black Pearl". Lovely dark leave; takes the sun and heat all day. Berries turn from black to red; and when the start to shrivel I gather them for the seeds. I only use it as an ornamental - and they are stunning. Those dark leaves hold up in the Florida heat and sun. The berries are edible but I believe are extremely hot; probably a little too hot for my taste buds. I've already started a couple of plants for friends.
