Fukien Tea
Lustrous, dark-green leaves, tiny white star-shaped flowers that turn into copper colored berries that will grow more Fukien Tea plants. Tropical: will freeze, so needs protection. Major root and branch pruning during the summer months. I used to keep mine in full sun but they seem to enjoy a little shade. Some variation in leaf size with cultivar, but the leaves do reduce some with pruning.
Susceptible to aphids and scale. Prevention is key.
