I found my 10cm tall plant growing in a car park last year in Raymond Terrace NSW while I was on holidays. Recognition of the plant came from my childhood (I am 60). The berries were a flaver-memory. I tenderly removed it as I just knew it was not going to survive where it was growing in a cement crack. I bought it home to SE Queensland and planted it in a pot where it still grows at over a metre high and a metre wide. I just love to eat the berries off the bush as I go about my garden. Moral; be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for what ever you might find. Happy Gardening and bless the rain every chance you get.
