Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa)

Most parts of the natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa) plant are toxic, except for the ripe fruit and some floral components.

- **Ripe Fruits**: These are bright red when mature and are known for their sweet-tart taste, making them suitable for consumption in jams, jellies, and desserts.
- **Flowers**: The white, star-shaped flowers are fragrant and can be used decoratively.

The plant is robust, belongs to the same family as Oleander, and its thorns make it an effective barrier hedge. The flowers bloom over two seasons, adding to its ornamental value.
