Jacquinia

Jacquinia aurantiaca, native to Mexico and Latin America, is an attractive evergreen shrub appropriate for well-drained sites in full or part sun. It bears clusters of small, waxy, fragrant orange flowers, followed by long-lasting, inch-wide, ornamental yellow-orange fruit. Not widely cultivated anywhere despite its beauty. Propagate by seeds and cuttings.
