Carmona Retusa (Fukien Tea) are petite and charming trees that develop small hanging berries and stunning white flowers. They have woody bark branches which helps set off their deep green leaves. Being deciduous, they also show great character during their dormancy making them great all year round. Flowers are white and star-shaped, with five petals arranged in a circular pattern around a central stamen. The stamen is tipped with a bright yellow anther that produces the plant’s pollen. After the flowers have been pollinated, they eventually wither and fall off the plant. In their place, small, green fruit will begin to develop. These fruit will gradually grow larger and change color as they mature. When the fruit is fully ripe, it will be a dark, almost black color and will have a soft, fleshy texture.
