The plant has glossy, dark green leaves that are oval-shaped and leathery, and produces fragrant white flowers that bloom in the spring and summer. These flowers are followed by small, red, edible fruits that are sweet and juicy.

The Natal Plum is a versatile plant that can be used in a variety of landscaping applications. It is often used as a ground cover in sunny areas, as it can tolerate drought and heat well.
